Re: Freeview on DVB TV?
Winter Hill and Crystal Palace are two of the "lucky" transmitters that broadcast the Freeview signal in band with the analogue signal (i.e. an old banded aerial that used to pick up analogue will pick up digital fine).

Sandy Heath is "unlucky" in that the digital signal is not in the same band as the analogue signal but spread over lots of bands. Therefore, to receive Freeview you need to replace the old Band A aerial with a bigger wideband aerial with more gain (to compensate for it being wideband).
