As our relay transmitters here are switching next year, (but we wont be getting all the muxes on them, so not all the channels will be available), after Rowridge has switched in 2012 & increased in power, will the signal be able to be picked up in the rest of Weymouth? As friends & family here in other parts of town cannot currently get a signal from Rowridge & would want to see all the available channels on Freeview, or would Stockland Hill be able to be picked up directly?? Its always puzzled me why the local relays here do not get fed from Rowridge anyway...

Nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Your being silly
Apart from Ireland being in the way and the power of local TV stations at I think Freeman Point in the Channel Islands not being that strong you wont get much out there except via satellite although I'm not so sure about if SABRE would make to much of a difference?? ![]() |

Can anyone give us a screenshot of the captions?
Although I guess it's a case of finding somebody who: A. Lives in or near the area B. Has equipment capable of analogue screencapture (or a steady hand with a camera) C. Knows about this forum D. Has somewhere to upload the image, knowing full well that a few thousand DS geeks (myself included) will hit that image multiple times. ... So little change at all with Whitehaven, maybe better with Selkirk, and improving everytime a switchover looms. If the caption is not significantly bigger than some of the crappy DOGs you see on TV, people won't even notice! |

Has BBC 2 Analogue been removed from Selkirk yet ?
From what I have been reading from previous posts and ofcom, BBC2 Analogue was due to be turned off today. I am a little mystified why there has not been any news coverage of the event (like in whitehaven's switch over). Is there anyone actually watching TV from the Selkirk transmitter ? |

The Selkirk switch off should allow any problems to be sorted before switch off proper starts next April, will move quite quickly and by this time next year all of the south west region, border region, granada region and most of Wales will be digital only

Hello.
I don't think this document has been mentioned before, but here's a link to the BBC's coverage plan for DTT, with the frequencies for the two multiplexes that will carry BBC services after switchover (Mux 1 and the HD Mux) for every transmitter in the UK, including new ones at Great Yarmouth, Clacton, Lowestoft etc and the transmitter power: http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/policies/pdf/coverage.pdf I hope you find it as informative as I have. |
