David, Alex: That is not true. The DVB-T2 is just that much more efficient than DVB-T (reflecting nearly 15 years more development). The selected for the BBC B is only very slightly less robust than the post- mode for the other multiplexes, which is about the same as for Mux 2 and Mux A now. The difference in radiation pattern between two is typically larger than the difference in the margin required between a DVB-T and DVB-T2 multiplex.

Now that the commercial multiplexes are going to use 3/4 mode, not 64QAM 2/3 as BBC A and D3&4 will, the HD multiplex should definitely be more robust than them.

maureen: I find it quite amazing that he managed to buy a only TV unless from some second hand source, is he absolutely positive that it is purely an analogue set and that DVB isn't seen mentioned on the remote control?

However, any of these low priced boxes seen in places like Argos etc should be perfectly suffice for his needs provided the TV he purchased does have a socket?
if not then any Freeview box purchased has to be of the type with an RF modulator so that the can be fed into the TV's socket.

Of course needless to say he will require a suitable aerial, although advice on this only being possible by having knowledge of his post code, this to enable checking of the signal level expected at his location.
