kevin ward: It might, but the problem with loft aerials is it almost impossible to say. You would receive all the services today if you move the aerial to the roof.

Hi, I'm trying to decide whether to have a high gain aerial fitted to receive freeview. Coverage prediction for IP4 2XD indicates poor reception now, improving during switchover but ultimately declining to variable by 2013.
Spoke to aerial installer who could see no problems when he checked the same site and they've installed to neighbour recently. I would prefer to go with freeview but if reception will be patchy then I'd sooner go with freesat, can anyone help/advise? Thank you.

Ronald: Please go for Freesat, there is no point wasting your money on an aerial upgrade.

Thanks for your concise and unambiguous response Braintist! I'm planning on installing a dish myself, see they're cheaply available on Amazon. Has any one any tips on what to go for/avoid? What type of cable/quality should I use? Re. receiver, although not concerned about HD as don't have HD T.V. (should I be - will an SD box become obsolete soon?), see everyone seems to rave about Humax - am I likely to achieve a qualitative difference in terms of reception/ease of use over say A Bush SD box for £20 from Argos?
Thanks again for your help.

Ronaki - If your thinking of installing "Freesat" yourself then your best bet for all that's required is "Satcure" as they will supply you with matched components and correct quality cabling (WF100) in whatever length you require. They also offer good installation guides for those who are DIY installs. Personally I would opt for a Triax TD series 54cm Dish a little more expensive than the bog standard wire mesh type but better quality and much easier to set up. - requires an LNB with a standard 40mm collar. Some of the SKY type are not standard in this respect. In the available SD receiver options I would recommend the Manhattan over the others.

Thanks for your help Les, site very useful. Could anyone please tell me: I want to use my single tuner hard drive dvd player to record while being able to watch another channel, so understand I'd need two receivers, plus supply another T.V. with a single SD receiver, would a quad LNB supply these needs?i.e. is it one LNB per receiver?

Ronald: Yes, that's correct, you need one LNB output for each satellite receiver.

Ipswich Stoke will be OFF-AIR from midnight. It is expected to be up-and-running again by mid-morning (the advice to installers says 7am). Ensure that the transmitter is fully running again before tuning in your digital box.
You can find progress reports at Digital UK - Relay transmitter switching times .
