I live in LE2 and currently choose the waltham transmitter, my tuner only shows a signal strength of 5/6 although the research shows i should have a stronger sutton coldfield signal (i do not want birmingham news etc), When the DSO is complete will i get a better signal from Waltham and if so will a stronger digital signal improve freeview+ boxes reliability as i have heard some crashes/lockups/freezes and corrupt recordings are due to poor signal strength?
