I'm embarrassed to ask this as I am sure I should be able to work it out myself, but I haven't been able to so here goes. I live in Admington (postcode CV36 4JN), less than 2 miles from the Lark Stoke transmitter. I have two aerials on my roof (the reasons for which are lost in the mists of time - I can't remember), one pointing to Lark Stoke, one to Sutton Coldfield. One aerial feeds the TVs in the kitchen and bedroom, the other feeds to the main TV in the lounge. How can I tell if the lounge TV is receiving from Lark Stoke or Sutton Coldfield?

Syd Wall- When tuning the equipment, it should show the channel number(frequency) for each MUX. Simply note the numbers and compare with each transmitter.

Thanks LutonFan. I knew it would be simple. I'll point both aerials to Lark Stoke so I can take advantage of Lark Stoke's earlier analogue switch off.
