I am in CO4 area and cannot get a digital signal at all this evening - is this due to the storm??
The signal is also very poor on all ITV channels I have retuned many times but am still unable to receive a clear picture - will this change on switchover?

When I use the freeview postcode check it tells me I can't get digital and won't be able to after the switchover. Your map also shows me in a blank spot (just in the north east of Maldon, Essex - on low land).
A few years ago I asked an earial engineer to install 'what he would choose for himself' and got a long pole with something like an XB16E and masthead amplifier (he left with an attenuator in case...). I get weak channel 4 so still record from analogue, but the rest are fine.

Tosh: Although not mentioned, but if you are located in a CM9 post code area then I think that the engineer you gave the choice to should have installed a dish rather than an aerial, as CM9 post codes are about the worst I have seen for a long time for showing an array on non-green (bad!) reception possibilities when viewed on the trade predictor.
The only glimmer of hope not being until June 2012, (Sudbury) even then its dependant on what the full post code might be as that was forecast on a 4LQ code.
Definitely a Freesat location!
