West Runton will be good to go active. Will these transmitters receive the full Freeview coverage? Guess I'll have to sort out an engineer in two years time to reposition my aerial.

Generally, all small relay transmitters that don't carry Freeview now will only carry the 3 PSB multiplexes after switchover (BBC, D3&4 and PSB HD).

Fremont Point is now confirmed for Nov 2010. The Channel Islands are getting freeview 3 years earlier than originally scheduled.

This is probably because of the French switchover. Nord-Cotentin (Cherbourg) is switching in November 2009, but only covers about 200,000 homes.

Basse-Normandie (1st quarter 2010), Picardie (4th quarter 2010), Nord (4th quarter 2010), although Nord will affect SE England, not the Channel Islands! And the SE has to wait until 2012 of course.

Does anybody know how long it will be after switch over until the strength of the signal on some of the lower powered muxes will be increased?

Where I live, some of the muxes are on very low power.

how much of europe is DSO only now?

probs about 20% ish

its good to think that all this digital started in England 10 years ago!

And if Leeds United had not qualified for Europe but their games clashed with the likes of Man U and Arsenal being shown on ITV1 I may still be dithering over getting myself converted.

Goto www.ukfree.tv enter your transmitter name in the search. Follow the link to the UKfree transmitter page. It will give you all the details you want. Generally power increases take place at the same time the analogue channels are switched off.

don't seem like a lot

Just a small comment, but I'm pretty sure my Welsh region is called Preseli, not Preseley. The transmitter is on the Preseli Mountains.

Ofcom have updated the Switchover frequency plan for several regions (Border, Wales and Westcountry) and issued Yorkshire today ...

Ofcom has reissued the

Westcountry Transmitter Plan (V5)

Today.

^ bbc2 will start to be removed at midnight and the rest in two week time 22/4/09 switchover will be complete in that aera

That's the list for the channel/station FR3 only although I'm sure all the other channels/MUXES will be switched over at about the same time at each relevant transmitter?

and the UK will probably be the last to complete the switchover!

Has anyone or does anyone know if the earlier Humax
8000t box will be redundant after the channels
upgrade and analog is switched off. thanks

I have one of these, although don't use it much anymore. I believe it supports 8k mode so it should be OK - maybe there is someone in an area that has switched off that could confirm it though?

Can someone move this thread out of the freeview forum in to the Terrestrial technical section as it sounds more technical and it is to do more with transmitters rather than the freeview service.

Thanks

^ I agreed come on DS/FS please move this thread of the freeview forums

Digital Spy , Can you please move this DTT Transmitter timetable thread out of the freeview forum and into the technical terrestrial forum. Thanks

You would do better if you clicked the Alert Button

The BBC has for the first time published the full DTT Transmitter Timetable on its website, in region alpha order

If you are on a relay, just find the appropriate main transmitter from the list.
