If none of the channels after DSO are below C35,then like Sudbury DSO, group 'E' ariel would also pick up all channels, would it not?

Mike Dimmick: Thank you for your answer and explanation. FYI my postcode is IP8 3BS which puts me just outside the fringe area. DTT since On Digital has been stable except for high pressure periods and dodgy motor electrics. Sudbury Freeview is always unstable here, and used to show severe ghosting on analogue. I'll keep hoping my existing aerial will survive DSO and 4G.
