we have had a terrible tv reception for months. will it get better on switch over. we live in a block of flats and had a new digital aerial last August. Could Hastings Direct just up the road from us have anything to do with it.

buontempo: Basically... not really. From 13th June 2012 you will get good reception of the three PSB multiplexes ("Freeview Light") from the Bexhill.
However, I would suggest you go for Freesat - you will get more channels on the service and you can get all the Freesat services today.
See Compare Freeview Light and Freesat TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for the channels.

Russ:
I would stick with what you've got, as you have currently no realistic prospect of getting terrestrial digital TV due to terrain issues.
Hope this helps,
Adam.

Russ: Ditto Adam B's diagnosis. You will probably only be able receive from the Newhaven relay which will be a Public Service Broadcaster transmitter only. Thus it will carry BBC, ITV1, ITV2, C4, E4, More4, C5, HD and a few others.
Being low down as you are, you won't be able to receive from another transmitter that carries the commercial channels.

In case this helps anyone else I've just installed an 18 element on a bungalow chimney in Hastings Avenue, Seaford and got a full set of Freeview channels from Whitehawk Hill. Quite a bit of signal too albeit with a Labgear masthead but watching for 30 minutes after installation there was no pixellation seen on any channels. I'll probably rescan after Newhaven switches over to prevent any problems when the tropo gets going in the summer but it does mean a complete line up is available at least in parts of Seaford.

Max: Yes, the BBC have carried a number of "test" 3D events on the BBC HD channel, such as Wimbledon and the Strictly Come Dancing final last year.
There's nothing special about 3D transmissions really, just two images, one for each eye, squeezed into a normal TV picture frame.
