Kevin Porteous : It not likley that the "com7" and "com8" multiplexes will be added here. They are being broadcast only from the top 30 transmitters. Freeview HD extended service from 2014 (com7) has a map. At some point in the future (when everyone has Freeview HD equipment) the existing multiplexes will switch to DVB-T2. The interim services are likely to be taken away and used for 4G broadband within five years.

Kevin Porteous : Never. It is as it is until at least 2018.
The objective of them is to encourage take-up of Freeview HD (DVB-T2) receiving equipment. In 2018 multiplexes may be rejigged so as to increase coverage of the services currently carried on the quasi-national HD multiplexes, COM7 and COM8 which aren't carried by Stockland Hill.

Read Kevin Porteous question about the extra HD channels. And answer "They are being broadcast only from the top 30 transmitters" seems odd then that they would pick Beacon Hill, which has less homes/viewers than Stockland Hill ?

Mrs Sanders:
It is probably related to the post above yours that indicates there is engineering work at Stockland Hill transmitter and that there will be weak signals. That often gives rise to picture breaking up.
