Hi,
Living near Horsham, I use Midhurst and was surprised to find that I couldn't get MuxC on freeview even though it has comparable power to others that I can get.
I think I've figured out what's wrong now:
A number of people local to me watch Heathfield, which is about 180 degrees from Midhurst (so off the back of the beam) and ITV1 Heathfield is on C64 (same as MuxC Midhurst), which I can see on analogue albeit with a lot of patterning.....

John: Yes, that's correct, and it will be the case until switchover. If you provide a full postcode I can be more specific.

Thanks Brian. It's RH13 9XX. Now that I've figured it out, I'm perfectly happy with the situation and don't expect any change until Mar 14th.
I thought my post might be of use to others in my area (like the poster who isn't getting 'Mux3' - He must mean MuxC).

I guess, in theory, as Heathfield doesn't close it's ITV1 until 13th June, I may have to wait until then.
So be it....

John: You have to wait until 14 Mar 12, you don't have to wait for Heathfield to close because the frequencies change at Midhurt in March there will be no clash.
