I have a roof aerial which is pointing towards the Yorkshire transmitter as we were told the signal was too weak from the Nottingham one when it was installed. We get all programmes but some are weaker than others. My question is can I now have it pointed to the Nottingham transmitter in order to get local news? Someone told me that the Notts transmitter will broadcast in HD this month is this true? Will the signal be stronger?

Keith Walker: Yes, you have to point at the appropriate transmitter to get the local news service.
Freeview HD starts from Nottingham on Wednesday 13th April 2011.
See "Comparison of analogue and digital signal levels" for details of the signal strength - basically 40W increases to 400W per multiplex.

Recently heard Nottingham transmitter will be switching before Sutton Coldfield.
When I put my aerial up I couldn't receive a good enough picture via the Nottingham transmitter. Just wondering, Briantist, with the transmitter being made more powerful, would I be likely to pick up a good signal from the transmitter?
I'm in the Alfreton (Derbyshire) area.
Thanks.

Ryan: your best bet will be to stick with the Sutton Coldfield transmitter. You're not expected to get any service from Nottingham, because there's a big hill in the way.
If you really want East Midlands news, you could use the Ambergate relay once that switches over in August, but you'd lose the commercial multiplexes, unless you got two aerials and a diplexer to combine signals from both aerials onto one cable.

I am currently receiving reasonable quality reception from the Nottingham transmitter before the switchover and the increase in power of the digital muxes.
A retune is required on 30th March and on 13th April as confirmed on this website.
I read that another re-tune is required on 24th August and on 27th September.
Up until the September re-tune it is predicted that I will get good reception of 62 channels with 4 HD. Afer September it is predicted I will get good reception of only 18 channels, 4 HD and variable on 44 channels. Are they reducing the transmitter power after September?

John8: you can see a more detailed picture of what's happening to which multiplex at Digital UK - Postcode checker problem is that around the 27th of September, another transmitter will start using C48 - I believe it's the Sandy Heath transmitter, where ArqB moves to C48 on 14 September. Since it is the same multiplex, if they co-ordinate it, it could reinforce the signal from Nottingham rather than interfering, but this has not been announced and the predictors treat it as interfering. Some time in 2012, the same problem will happen with the SDN and ArqA multiplexes when another transmitter switches over, or has a post-switchover event. Since the date isn't shown in any more detail, it's hard to say which this is and what the effect will be. Again, it could be Sandy Heath, and again it could be reinforcing as the same channels are used for the same multiplexes. (RG47SH)
