To be fair, Dusty, I did notice the signal level indicator for MUX53 on my TV was definitely showing higher towards the end of last week, then back down since. Maybe some testing taking place? The full crank-up is due tomorrow, so that should sort out some issues - and possibly even create a few too!

Checked my son's tv manual and a DVB-T2 tuner is fitted, so I conclude the HD should be receivable at his location in TF3. As I live in brighton I have not been able to offer any on site help. A recent phone call to him revealed that he was not receiving any programs from Mux PSB3 BBC b , Com 6 or Mux C. He was receiving approx 81 channels inc some radio. I hope that on the final power increase tomorrow the problem of missing channels will be resolved.
Failing this he needs to check his aerial really is wideband...

jordan: Mux 7 and 8 are several years away and still might not actually be licensed for digital TV, although that's looking more likely.

Very disappointed. We now receive fewer channels than before ( was hoping for more). We have lost MUX A with ITV2 +1 , ITV3, Quest, 5USA, CITV , three radio channels etc.
MUX A is on channel 24, well within group A using 20KW. We received good Freeview signals on 2KW prior to DSO, so I am a bit puzzled as to why we can't get MUX a now.

Which transmitter are you pointing at?
The Digital UK Tradeview seems to have proble m with your address - so perhaps you have a local issue.
