I live about 20 miles from the Hannington transmitter near Basingstoke, and my rooftop aerial is pointed in that direction. With a booster I can get a reasonable analogue signal in my kitchen.
I recently bought a Freeview box to see if it would pick up a signal. It does - barely. Some of the BBC channels work some of the time, but the rest are blank.
Looking at the 'switch to digital' and BBC sites it suggests that some areas won't switch to Freeview until the analogue switchoff - scheduled for 2012 in the South :shocked:.
Anyone one know if Hannington is transmitting Freeview and I need a bigger aerial or whether I'm just picking up a weak signal from Crystal Palace? I don't think it's worth paying to get the aerial re-directed to London.
TIA
