Kevin Lovatt: Firstly, NEVER NEVER give out your address (or phone number) on a public forum. We dont need any more than a postcode, and no one will be contacting you by post.

Look at DigitalUK's website - Coverage Checker - Detailed View , you've got two choices - roughly SW (204 degrees) is Sutton Coldfield, which sounds fine. Waltham is the other choice, but Sutton Coldfield should be fine. As long as signal strength is roughly 75%, (not too high, not too low), you get all the muxes your supposed to, and quality is as close to 100% as you can, its cool.

Response to Mike B.
Thanks for your comments. I thought you would like to know that I contacted the people who are handling problems caused by 4G. Two Engineers called and checked my installation. First: they confirmed I was tuned to Waltham. They then did some further checking at my lounge aerial input and followed this with a visit to my loft where my booster and booster/distributor are situated, in series.
Downstairs again for further checks (after fitting a filter pre-boosters). Then up to the loft again for further adjustments and down again to confirm that they had got rid of the interference.
Finally, I had to sign that they had been and that they had not sold me anything.
Two or three days later, I got a call to ask my opinion of the Engineers and their service.
Altogether, a very good experience. Just in case others follow our example; I don't know if being over 75 got us the work done without charge.

Eric Brett: The ironic thing is that you might be one of the very few people that have actually had a problem with 4G - and I didn't even mention it!
Good that it got sorted.

C Besley : A 4G filter would not block those or any other channels (unless it is faulty). If someone came out to install the filter for you I would suggest contacting them again.
