[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 63769, member: 175235"] I’m trying to get freeview, there are two transmitters near me: Durris - 80KM away broadcasts at 10KW and 5KW – Group W Horizontal. Angus - 30KM away broadcasts at 4KW and 2KW – Group C/D At the moment the only aerials I have are a small set top one and access to a house aerial. The house aerial is pointing at Durris, of the freeview Muxs I only get 1 and 2 which are on channels 30 and 34. I receive these with about 70% signal, the other Muxes (Ch 52 51 41 and 44) get no signal at all. As I receive channels 30 and 34, band A, with quite a good signal, am I right in thinking that the house aerial simply doesn’t cover the band that channels 44-52 are in? If so, what size of wideband aerial would I need to pick up the weakest mux, broadcasting at 5KW 70KM away? Or am I better to try and receive the much neared transmitter, 30KM away but broadcasting at only 2KW? What kind of aerial would be best to get, and where from? The set top aerial gets no digital reception from either transmitter, despite getting a reasonable analogue picture from one. Any help or advice would be much appreciated, I’ve never really needed to look into aerials before. [/QUOTE]
