I have just seen the following report "Culture Minister Ed Vaizey said an estimated 945,000 households which use signal amplifiers to boost their television reception could be affected, while another 953,000 which rely on communal aerials could have their coverage disturbed".

My post code is GL10 3BJ and I have a signal amplifier and receive Freeview via the Mendip Transmitter.

Should I expect to have a problem. And if so, what would you suggest would be the best solution please?

Please can someone advise if one can receive Points West from Wenvo Transmitter?
I currently receive signal from Mendip to get Points West, but the predictions are that the reception will become poorer next year.

Hi Dave Lindsay,

Thanks for your advice about not being able to receive Points West from Wenvoe.

Further to that a friend, who lives about 200 meters from us in Eastington, has just had a new aerial fitted. The signal strength from Mendip was stonger than from Wenvoe.
Digital UK shows Wenvoe should provide the strongest signal for Eastington.

I have just been told that in the near future BBC is only going to transmit in HD.

Is this correct please?

If so when is this to happen?

Hi Briantist ,

Thank you for the HD services information.

I have just bought a 40" L1333 Full High Definition LED TV - Toshiba, but cannot get any HD programmes via Freeview from Mendip transmitter.

My post code is GL10 3BJ.

I tried a manual search of multiplex C58, but could find no signal.

What do I need to do to get the HD programs on 101, 102, 103 & 104 please?

I have the TV link to a Humax PVR 9300T hard drive recorder which was needed with my previous 15 year old analogue TV that has just died.
I can also receive Freeview directly from the boosted aerial type C/D E
