Sutton Coldfield (Birmingham, England) DAB transmitter
The coloured area on the map represents the locations where DAB reception should be possible in a car, or using a DAB receiver where the aerial is above ground-floor level. Inside the area with the thick coloured line, indoor domestic reception even at ground level should be highly reliable. However, the coverage area shown is the official radiation pattern, the actual terrain and receiver aerial position will affect reception reliability.

Worcester On Sunday evening here in Worcester I became aware there was no BBC DAB Multiplex 12b reception on all of my sets around the house, this went on until Monday morning. All other dab multiplexes were fine.
I could not find any details of failure or Engineering work relating to this on any web sites.
An automated reply from the BBC trouble shooting guide advised me to:
1.Retune
2.Fit a DAB aerial
3.Consult a Aerial installer.
The BBC national DAB came back on briefly just before 9am and then went off again. it returned later that morning and is still on.
Any info on this failure pleaseDaveCheltenhamFriday 30 March 2012 3:45PM
Cheltenham sid: In Worcester, your nearest high power BBC DAB is Turners Hill which I received here in Cheltenham long before there were local ones near here. Perhaps Turners Hill had the problems?
