So its not worth me getting myself an ITV digibox ? I live in north Germany about 45 - 60 mins from the danish border. Maybe with a really big pole ;-)

I live about 30km east of The Hague, in NL. I have tried with a high-gain 75-element directional antenna (the best there is) coupled with a powerful amplifier, mounted at the highest point of my house, to pick up ITV-Digital. No signal at all. You have NO chance from your location, I'm afraid.
(I did manage to pick up several other terrestrial channels from Germany, Belgium, and local city-stations in Holland - so the antenna was working well - just nothing from any of the coastal UK transmitters).

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Best signals to Holland come through on horizontal polarisation in West Holland. Use a transmitter with omni directional status rather than directional (the therefore coastal ) frequencies.
