They're upper adjacent to Rowridge, and lower adjacent to Stockland Hill, so transposing either of those main stations would be tricky (read expensive). Transposing Mendip is far easier. -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply.

BBC Reception survey in Dorset
The report states that if you can receive some digital MUXs but not others
then there is likely to be a fault with your aerial; e.g. on page 38 - "aerials may pick up some frequencies better than others: this means some multiplexes can appear to be working normally while other produce no pictures at all" Discussions on this newsgroup have always blamed the QAM; as in - "ITV and Ch4 are on 28 which is a 64QAM Mux and uses IIRC statistical methods, so reception is more problematic than the Beebs 16QAM Muxes." The BBC report makes no mention of the QAM rate as a possible problem. Which is right? Davy "Mark Carver" wrote in message ...
