Lichfield Freeview HD
 

As I live close to Lichfield, and my aerial is pointing at Sutton
Coldfield for Freeview channels, would it be pointless to buy a Freeview
HD receiver? I understand that Freeview HD is currently being broadcast
from Lichfield rather than S.Coldfield, though I've also read that the
Lichfield transmitter will be decommissioned in 2013, so presumably the
HD channels will migrate to S.Coldfield at some point.

Lichfield is 20-30 degrees away from S.Coldfield from where I live, so
it's close but no cigar.

Can any of you experts in this NG clarify this for me?

The HD mux is indeed broadcast from Lichfield
but only until DSO - sometime around Q3 2011 ?.

It is likely you can get FreeviewHD now. You may
need to turn your aerial a little in the
direction of Lichfield.

Use your postcode and the trade view on
www.digitaluk.co.uk to check the reception
(i think i says SC, but the HD signal is from Lichfield)

Can you see Lichfield from an upstairs window? If so you'll be OK.

Easily. The problem is it's in a different direction to Sutton Coldfield.

I think I'll wait until HD is on the Sutton Coldfield mast before I buy
a FreeView HD PVR. In the meantime, I bought a Sagem FreeSat box for HD
tennis. At some point I'm going to have to make the big decision re Sky
or Virgin or Freeview or BT or ...

Who knows, I may have moved house by then, anyway.

Thanks, people.

Yes I gathered that (after all it was central to your question), and I
took it into account when offering my opinion. I considered the
directional characteristics of the type of aerial you are likely to be
using, the liklihood of multipath affecting the quality of the signal,
the risk of the stronger signals from SC swamping the Lichfield
system, and various other factors, before arriving at a conclusion.

Thanks Bill. Point taken and added to my decision parameters.

WTF is a decision parameter?

Yes, although I was so busy being sarky I said I'd arrived at a
conclusion when I meant I'd made a guess!
