and Sutton Coldfield.

Is that what the second Oxford was?

Just to add a couple of points not yet made.

Your additional regions will be added in the 800's, depends on the freeview
box, but the older ones like Thompson PVR are really difficult, they scan by
frequency and add the lowest first (a problem in North of Cumbria where
Scottish channels become the default !)

Yes I am aware of this, and am happy to have channels in the 800's

I have antenna's for Bilsdale and Pontop Pike (Analogue leftover to get Tyne
Tees North and South !) - I use Satellite now.

OK

The point is that when my local (Caldbeck) chimney mounted antenna got water
in, and failed, I plugged in the combined analogue antenna feed, and get
great Caldbeck digital reception.

Uh huh.

You might want to consider grouped aerials rather than wideband to reduce
potential interference.

All duly noted. I picked up 4 brand new Log periodics for just 4 quid in
total.

What make were they?.

Antiference, my workplace were having a clear out and staff were allowed
to purchase the surplus stock.....

Ah, Right;!...


I also picked up 4 UHF 10 channel processors\combiners (Televes
Avant 5) that can do the filtering and combining necessary with signals
coming in from 3 UHF aerials so I can use LP's rather than grouped aerials.

Stephen.

Colin

Still I expect the OP's new neighbours will admire his 'metallic

Actually not quite pointless, as I have discovered on my free-to-air
satellite dish. When you get sick of the same old ads, just switch to
a different region.

Get a PVR, you'll never have to watch another TV ad, ever again.
