Richrd: The only transmitter in the Tyne-Tees region with a Freeview HD service is Pontop Pike. The frequency is C63 (810.0MHz) and requires a group C/D receiving aerial set for horizontal polarisation. The Digital UK postcode checker predicts good reception for this mux at your location. If you are using the Fenham transmitter the Freeview HD service will be added at DSO stage 2 in the latter part of 2012, precise dates are yet to be announced by Ofcom.
