[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1263439, member: 141969"] In the UK there are three MUXes that transmit HD (which means DVB-T2 instead of DVB-T). However, only one of these MUXes is broadcast at "full strength"; the other two MUXes are broadcast at "barely receivable" strength. Example: I receive signals from the Rowridge transmitter, which has: (1) Three MUXes broadcasting at 200 kW power. (2) Three MUXes broadcasting at 50 kW power. (3) Three MUXes broadcasting at 20 kW power. Using my TBS-6284 quad-tuner card, I can receive (1) and (2) reliably, but (3) is mostly unwatchable. Using my Pinnacle 2000i dual-tuner card, I can receive (1), but (2) and (3) are nowhere to be found (the Pinnacle tuners are significantly less sensitive than the TBS tuners). Unfortunately, only one of the HD MUXes resides in group (1). The other two HD MUXes reside in group (3). Consequently, I have given up trying to watch the channels in group (3). The channels in the group (1) MUX include the five public-service HD channels (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Four, Five). The channels in group (3) are the other HD channels (BBC4, BBC News, CBeebies, Four+1, 4Seven, RT, QVC), plus various minor SD channels. The broadcast powers of the various MUXes will be different at your location, but the common characteristic is that the two HD MUXes that are in my group (3) are low power everywhere, and most people have difficulty receiving them. Also note that these two MUXes will be discontinued in perhaps one to two years, which is why I am not going to spend any money improving my aerial system. If you can receive the five public-service HD channels with watchable quality, that is probably about the best that you can expect using terrestrial. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
