I live on the side of a valley in Ryde, Isle of Wight and am unable to get a from the . Our arial points at the transmitter. We occasionally suffer poor or loss of signal in certain weather or atmospheric conditions. Will our improve noticeably after switch over and will we receive all ?

Bob Brundrett: The of the will be increased at . It will therefore serve areas that it didn't before, or improve those which were iffy.

All transmitters that broadcast Freeview prior to switchover will broadcast all the (including the commercial ones) post-switchover.

Bob Brundret: Unfortunately not as far as is concerned, as using Ryde post office as a code indicates variable as applying even in 2014, that said though you may well receive it better next March 14th when its increases from 2Kw to 20Kw, but it is still shown as being variable so nothing is guaranteed.

on the other hand "might" become possible (albeit via a stable reflection) next March 21st when the PSB muxes go onto high power operation, that is up from 20Kw to 200Kw, in April 18th the commercial muxes likewise increase power, although this only up to 50Kw.

Bob Brudrett, jb38: Bob, the predictor shows a much better result for at what I believe to be your address than at the Ryde Post Office.

Go to the UK website and enter your post code and house number and click the box to say that you are in the trade and it will come up with the of both pre and post .

Dave Lindsay: Yes! you could possibly be quite correct there, as although anywhere that forecasts about 100% variable across the board for the given code never really contains that many chosen spots where it doesn't apply, I fully appreciate that they do exist.

Bob Brundrett: This being the reason why as Dave Lindsay has touched on, post codes are so essential with queries such as yours, as it helps to cut down the element of error that's always present with any reply to a reception query, as RF signals up to a point have a mind of their own and frequently do not conform to forecasts made about where they will reach, or indeed not as the case may be, especially in areas such as your own.

In November we started to lose on such as ITV1, ITV2 etc. which rendered them unwatchable. The BBC channels are OK. I thought it was due to weather conditions as prior to that we would have 'bad' days where certain channels were unwatchable. The problem is, even after retuning the TV, I can only really watch the BBC channels. Im in BN44 3YW. Do I have to wait until March 2012 before I can utilise again? I've gone back to which is a retrograde step in my mind.
