The signal strengths have got a bit muddled up here. Rosneath has both HP and VP components, in different directions. Rosneath HP wasn't actually documented previously.
VP signals are currently 10 kW for analogue, 200W for digital. HP is 0.8W for digital. After switchover all VP multiplexes will be 2 kW, all HP multiplexes will be 8W. All six multiplexes will be broadcast on both VP and HP.

My Location is G84 0QH
Rosneath Transmitter (V Pol), only TX'ing on CH 48 and CH 61 this morning despite the public being led to believe all Engineering works would be completed overnight?
I have had no problems with Freeview up to now and I have retuned repeatedly only to find two
muxes working. are we to be without the ITV / Ch 5 mux until 25th. May?

Brian,
My equipment consists of a 32inch Bravia and a 19inch Bravia 2-3 years old. Both have been perfectly happily receiving all Rosneath's multiplexes since Rosneath first started TXing Still using the same (fairly new) C/D Vert. Pol. Aerial, don't understand how a simple reshuffle of Channels causees me to loose all these muxes?....

John McMillan: I agree, it is odd. There are a number of Sony devices listed on that link, however.
