From the above, unless I am mistaken, it seems that on switchover Newhaven will only have a limited range of programmes. In fact many less than I have been able to receive from whitehawk hill digital for the last few years. Is this so, and if so why?

Michael Murphy: See Will there ever be more services on the Freeview Light transmitters? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .
If you can get a service from Whitehawk Hill now, it's pretty likely that you will continue to be able to after switchover. It should even be more reliable. Whitehawk Hill will get, relatively speaking, an increase in coverage over analogue - at most other main sites, digital power levels will be one-fifth of analogue to provide equivalent coverage, Whitehawk Hill's power level will be TWO-fifths.
There are occasionally some spots where a relay has been allocated the same channels as a main transmitter's commercial multiplexes. Bexhill and Rye will clash with some of Whitehawk Hill's commercial muxes, although Bexhill will be horizontally-polarized where Whitehawk is vertical.

Michael Murphy: Yes, you are quite correct, as the service is classed as a Freeview "light" one, and as such will only transmit public service broadcasts, this because of the commercial interests not being willing to pay for the cost of running extra multiplexes.
This is not that uncommon in lesser coverage area's, and is a source of complaint from many people.

I am 85 years old.What help will I get at Changeover? Free set-top? Free on site support?
I have line of sight to Newhaven aerial, single group aerial in loft, but will fit allgroup aerial in May.
I have a 4 - way booster amplifier. Will this work for digital?
I have a Trinitron bedroom TV with no Scart or HDMI. Can you adapt this for digital?

Philip J Thomas: You should not (in all likelihood) have to replace your aerial because the group is the same after changeover.

Philip J Thomas: Yes, see The Switchover Help Scheme can help you make the switch to digital TV. | Switchover Help Scheme for details. They should contact you and provide you with some help and a free set-top box, or contribution towards something more advanced.
You may have to remove the booster from your system.
