Have a look at this page. It tells you which Freeview channels are on which multiplex:

If someone is experimenting with pushing Freeview DVB-T signals down the Milton Keynes Cable, then it's likely you will find you have all, or none, of the channels in any given multiplex. If you're receiving all BBC channels, plus Sky 3 and Dave, that suggests you may be receiving Muxes 1, B and C. However to prove this, check the list and let us know whether you are getting all the other TV and radio channels that are included in those Muxes.

I am getting 1 and C, albeit as my above post states through the ether, as I am getting these by just having a long coax to the telly, do you think I will get all feeds with an aerial, and also do I need to put it outside, or inside the roof, aerials on the roof are frowned on round here, in fact I have never seen one?

Thanks

Odd, the Wolbane predictor says you need an amplified extra gain so unless there is a new local relay, or it IS on the cable and leaking like hell, then I can't see how you could pick it up while disconnected using just the flylead.

Tonight I pulled the aerial out the wall, I still get all of the freeview channels, so it looks like I am just picking it up out of the ether. Theres a lot of cable in my house and a long way between the TV and the wall socket where it comes in, the equivelent to 6 stories of a house.

The signal is definately digital, as I am getting digital interfenece, its going blocky.

So I am going to dump the virgin stuff, buy myself an aerial, only problem is I now need another 8 freeview decoders :-(

I would wait till Virgin launch there digital service, i suppose you could ask them when they are going to roll out digital on that special freephone number for the Milton Keynes area. It looks like Virgin will do it very soon since the switchover is literally round the corner.

Well, its really down to the broadcasters, if Discovery or Sky want to stop broadcasting via analogue signals that means there will be nothing to watch!

It has to be upgraded soon otherwise BT will loose there tennant and Virgin will loose customers and residents will have less TV options!
