Well its one week signal - 29% on my hummy, vs 70% for the psbs, still 100% quality so the qspk is doing the job! Just south of Nottingham on an high gain aerial installed before DSO. Weakest signal I've got without needing a booster.

Very susceptible to interference (more so than SDN). This is for loft aerial and no amplification. Hauppauge dongle also connected (from Humax RF out) to this aerial is unreliable for signal strength. Shows a number of continuity and TEI errors. Might be watchable. My old Philips STB connected via booster to another aerial gives no signal quality. Using an old roof mounted aerial (pre channel 5 analogue) gives a 75% signal quality on a new(ish) tv. Given this aerial designed for use up at the channel 54-60+ range - not so bad. |

PSB 1 BBC - S: 89%, Q: 71%-75% - No break up PSB 2 D3&4 - S: 82%, Q: 71% - No break up COM 4 SDN - S: 97%, Q: 71% - No break up COM 5 ArqA - S: 82%, Q: 59% - No break up COM 6 ArqB - S: 78%, Q: 50% - Some MPEG corruption artifices and sound drop outs L-NOT - S: 53%, Q: 18% - Some MPEG corruption artifacts (less than on Arq B though) but no sound drop outs. Suffering from impulsive interference (i.e. boiler starting) No sign of the multiplexes from Nottingham at all so can't check those to see if CoMux is a go there... |

Should really set-up a proper gallery thing though

Just south of Spalding (Lincs), via my boosted wideband aerial on Waltham, I'm getting around 75% strength and 100% quality of the Nottingham local TV tests, consistently since they started.

Not too surprising considering that Spalding is the only town the Notts TV local multiplex has full coverage of according to the predicted coverage maps!

Loughborough is returning 18% with 100 quality. Is that it or will they turn the power up a bit?

I feel that we are returning to the 1998 when digital TV started with the have and have not's service with those in good weathers that can without blocking.
We have HD mux that is low powered with second said to come along later, but both under a 5 year only contact. And now local mux which is even lower in power from transmitters, that well make city and town people up to three channels richer on the poor DTT system. We have many before DSO that in the pass year may have taken away amps thinking that all new muxes will be same powers, But no OFCOM has now made the power amps needed again. |

I hadn't seen the predicted coverage map, I see what you mean! Spalding can hardly be within the intended area for Notts local, so I assume it will carry nothing of any interest for south Lincolnshire. We'll have to stick with BBC 'Derby Today', sorry I mean East Midlands Today and 'Look Hull', sorry, Look North. A Peterborough local service might benefit this area but I gather there are no plans for one.

... Alternatively, we have the main supported full power system- analogue before DSO, and Freeview after DSO. But at the same time we fit in - at lower quality, reduced coverage- a second system that is effectively the next generation of technology under test. Before DSO, it was Freeview/DVB-T that was being tested. Now that's become the main system we're seeing the next generation again being introduced into the lower power/reduced coverage regime. At the next switchover DVB-T2 will become the main technology, and something else will start to appear in the reduced coverage slots if there's still enough bandwidth left to do that- else the trials of (e.g.) UHD TV over DVB-T3 will be much more restricted. |
