Betamax_man: I think that's a glitch due to the change in reception for your postcode at switchover - they reckon that you can get Mux 1 now but no muxes after switchover.

hello
We are currently receiving Freeview all ch annels with good reception throughout the range. When checking our needs post switchover, my postcode was recommended to use a wideband aerial. I am unsure what is the difference between a standard ae and a wideband ae, so cannot determine which ae we currently have. It is pointing at the Sheffield transmitter and is vertically aligned and matches that of all neighbours.
Any information would be most welcome
Thankyou

Peter: Aerials installed for reception of the Sheffield/Crosspool transmitter were originally "group A" type, which were (then) designed to receive the frequencies between C21 and C34. When Channel Five began transmitting on C67 it became necessary to install a wideband aerial which receives all frequencies between C21 and C68. If your aerial is reasonably new it is most likely a wideband type.After switchover you will initially have signals between C21+ and C63. After 27th September 2011 all signals will be between C21+ and C45. Whilst a wideband aerial will still be suitable after that date it might be better to fit "group K" aerials on new installations to limit the reception of future 4G mobile phone signals.

I usually receive all freeview channels with good reception
I am now only picking up 7 bbc channels
Never had problems before. I have auto retuned many times over last few days
Is this due to impending switch?

Can you help?
Many thanks
