Northampton, NN3 5??.
Signal Strenghts at TV:
PSB 1, 2, = 85%
PSB 3 N/A
MUX A, C = 60%
COM 6 = 50%
I spoke to DIGITALUK this afternoon, and they confirm that 67 is red flagged as being on lower than expected power, but wouldn't elaborate.

Since this was supposed to be the final stage of switch over on Sandy Heath, why are further retunings necessary later in the year? I want to instal interference filters, but can't on these power levels. Can we expect COM6 to be boosted before the end of the year?

Response to Alan Mapp:

I'm surprised by your comments. A couple of years ago I went to to stay with relatives in Sherborne, and took a DAB radio with me. Using it's own thin wire aerial, I received about 2 dozen stations, more than we got here in Northampton, with very stable reception. I suppose it depends where you live in the town, but I would have thought an external aerial would have pulled in a decent signal. I was at the top near the Bradford Abbas road.
