I'm not sure that the results are as detailed as one might think. My postcode is a street which just doesn't have a line of sight to Belmont: there's a gig hill in the way. Move a little west, still in the village, and the coverage opens up. It's likely more useful to have a look outside at where the neighbours are pointing their TV aerials, and then sort the signal estimates by direction.

I'm seeing a few awkwardnesses hidden in the information, such as some BBC channels duplicated during the transition. (Compare MUX B and BBCA)

It explains some of the oddities I've seen reported here, better than leakage from Belmont. You will get duplicates of several BBC channels, TV and radio.

I also suspect the changes on the 7th didn't go as smoothly as expected: the situation changed during the afternoon.

I also note that a couple of commercial broadcasts on Freeview have disappeared: again not a tuning problem. They have stopped transmitting.

Unfortunately, for the next couple of weeks, the range of power levels from Emley Moor is awkwardly wide. You may need a signal boost for some multiplexes until the 21st.

I don't have an easy answer.
