In addition to my previous post (#249), surely Sheffield has to switch before Belmont, otherwise there are clashes with Sheffield's pre-DSO D3=4 with Belmont's post-DSO Arq B (ch53) and Sheffield's pre-DSO BBC B with Belmont's post-DSO Arq A (ch60).
I don't know about interference from Waltham in the Sheffield area, but it's a thought. Sheffield's pre-DSO SDN clashes with Waltham's post-DSO Arq B (ch57). So if there is a risk of interference in Sheffield from Waltham, which I think is quite possible, then Sheffield also has to switch before Waltham. Also Emley Moor cannot switch before Belmont with clashing on ch48 - Belmont's pre-DSO D3+4 with Emley's post-DSO Arq B. The information in the my post above could mean that Sheffield will in fact switch before Emley - which would make sense anyway if Sheffield must switch before Belmont which must switch before Emley. Anyway, I'm just trying to fit the jigsaw together, purely because I have an interest. These are my thoughts. Please don't be afraid to tell me if I'm talking a load of codswallop. There's so many things to take into account it's easy enough to make a mistake, but I think I've got all the information from the DUK website correct. |

Hi,
well i'm from Yorkshire and I come under two transmitters in my part of the Yorkshire region. First is of course Emely Moor Transmitter and the second where i receive my transmittions from is Southarum Transmitter (to inform this is a full transmitter alongside emely moor and its not classed as a relay, however people where i live can access both but most point to southarum Transmitter as its the clearest however if there is a problem everyone where i live can switch to emely moor) and not forgetting small relays like Halifax, copley, todmorden and hebden bridge relays. I'm thinking there is a minor delay because of the other small relays. But when the switch over nest year, will the small relays switchover at the sametime as the two main transmitters in west yorkshire. Plus as for the switchover advertisements where i live the local councel has put up flag-banners on the lamp-posts so when the time arrives they will put up the ads for the switchover. But as for the posting of the switchover we haven't received anything yet neather has the other people near where i live. Its very perculiour why such a wide time frame of the yorkshire switchover but my guess is that they need to make sure that everything goes smoothly. When it happens, its going to be brillient plus i'll record when the off times happen. Its going to a big thing for my part of the region and the public too. Good luck Yorkshire.

Around July 2012 Meridian Region Followed by Tyne Tees, London and Ulster, as this sequence was anounced in 2005 I hope this helps you figure out the right order of the Digital Switchovers |

DTT Transmitter Timetable
I post these posts in order to inform people about
the correct sequence of the Digital Switchover Plan Also I had just been E - Mailed by Ofcom in relation to the Digital Dividend after the DSO has been completed, indeed they are going to sell the 800mhz Band for the new 4G Mobile Phone/Broadband services coming in from 2013/2014 You can find it Here http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/con...e-of-practice/ The last doucument shows how the planning for the Digital Switchover takes place, it is very very interesting on how long the process is |

Anyone seen articles or know how big an operation the switchover days themselves are?
I mean how many people are involved at each site ? Do the transmission providers send lots of people to the region or do the local engineers handle it all? Do they have like 10 engineers at the mains sites and a few roving teams that move between the relay sites (given that they have staggered switchover times)? Or are the mains switched by automation fully remotely and the relays require hands on? And will they have a lot of post switchover revisiting to strip out the analogue gear? Just curious. |

Sutton Coldfield
I don't know if this has already been mentioned here as I have not read through the entire thread.
On Friday 3rd September there was a program on our local BBC radio station (BBC WM) which was talking about DTT. The experts they had on the show said that DSO in the West Midlands (Sutton Coldfield) would happen on 28th April 2011. In the lists at the beginning of this thread, Sutton Coldfield is listed as September 2011. |

Posters have now started to appear on bus shelters throughout Edinburgh (from Sky no less) advising of the STV Central digital switchover next June. Craigkelly starts its DSO on 1 June 2011 and Black Hill a week later. When you switch over depends on whereabouts in Edinburgh you are, as some areas of Edinburgh receive from Craigkelly and others from Black Hill. These are the last two main transmitters in Scotland to switch to digital.
Oddly my dad and myself have both got mailings from Sky advertising great deals for viewers in the STV Central region - despite Duns being firmly in the Border TV area which has already switched! |

Ah Duns I know it well, even in railway terms I lived "down the road" in Coldstream for a short while.I noticed these as well and thought "How to confuse people with one silly poster". Far to early.Easter would have been better. |

Interestingly the old Reston to Leaderfoot railway line runs past my dad's back garden!
![]() Stop it now I'm getting misty eyed. It was a branch off the ECML and the Waverley Route. Now don't get me started on the Waverley Route again. ![]() Right Now! Get back on topic!! |

The switchover date for Sudbury (Anglia/BBC East east) has now been announced. It's July 6th 2011, but not sure if this is for stage 1 or 2. As it says "from" I'm guessting this is the stage 1 date, with stage 2 being two weeks later.
http://m.eadt24.co.uk/;s=t4g3_hfBKYD...px?id=1.654512 Link is to mobile version of East Anglian Daily Times site (link on main site wasn't working), nothing up on Digital UK yet. |

Just out of interest - and apologies for not reading thru' 11 pages of posts (in case it has already been mentioned) - but will the transmission power of the muxes be increased at the time of switchover, or will they be left at their current levels (I receive from Sandy), or will they be increased at a later date?
