Graham Powell: Depending on whereabout you are located in DY13 it is possible that the C34 signal from Bromsgrove is strong enough to block the HD signal from Lichfield. Some parts of Stourport have a choice of several transmitters which offer good reception of the HD mux, including Ridge Hill, The Wrekin and Bromsgrove which are already in service.
