Andrew: You might find Ofcom DAB switchover coverage planning proposals | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice interesting.

Tom: The BBC radio channels are carried on the same multiplex as the TV channels, there should be no difference in the signal level as they form part of the same transmission. See How digital television works | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

Transmission of digital TV suddenly stopped without warning at 13.45 today!? No explanation, no indication of when it will be restored. So the usual poor service for the license fee payers of Hadfield and Glossop. We only receive a fraction of the channels that others receive on Freeview yet we still pay the same fee!

Stuart: If you refer to the Electricity North West website (today's name for the local power distribution operator) and enter the postcode for the Glossop transmitter you will find that there is a power outage.
The Licence Fee is required by law to be paid by anyone who watches TV. It does not mean that any terrestrial signal is available.
The Licence Fee goes exclusively to the BBC, and as a Public Service broadcaster you have access to the BBC. It is the Commercial networks which do not wish to invest in Glossop and 1,000 similar transmitters because they do not consider they offer a worthwhile return.
It is ridiculous for anyone to suggest that they should pay less to the BBC because other, non-connected, operators choose not to serve a particular area. The issue is that they were allowed to pick and choose in the first place and that they were not mandated to mirror the Public Service networks.
The main transmitters have additional power supplies and emergency back-up generators to keep them running if there is a local power cut. I cannot agree with any suggestion that the small transmitters like Glossop should also have generators as this will add to cost and make the Licence Fee even higher!
