Is there something going on with COM5 ArqA - today I could receive all the channels (11,12,17,29 etc) good signal strength - but yesterday and this evening no signal at all. It seems to yo yo a lot.
All other Muxs - fine

How come the local TV channel from Rowridge will only be broadcast horizontally? Whilst many will have their aerials horizontal, vertical polarisation is surely favoured for new installations and so all channels should be available vertically.

Is Rowridge VP really getting COM 7 & COM 8?
The Ofcom document and the DUK site both indicate the the new T2 muxes on Rowridge will be on HP only, but this site says otherwise.
What is the truth?

Steve Baker:
I would find it strange for them to invest in the introduction of VP to only give HP more channels.
Especially as all new aerial installs are being fitted with VP rather than HP.

HELP
there seems to be conflicting information on different sites
New HD services com7 and com8
Are they going to only be on Rowridge HP or both HP and VP????
As all new installs are being fitted on VP and some old installs being changed from HP to VP due to its far superior reception, it is a bit of a concern that they would not include the new HD channels on VP even with it being outputted at a rubbish strength.
