Council aerial ban challenged
The Harlow Star newspaper reports today that Barry Plumridge is challenging Harlow Council over their ban on TV aerials on council and ex-council properties.
He told the paper "We're all paying for Freeview through our television licences, that's how it's funded, but we're told that if we want to watch it we have to pay again. It makes Freeview a total misnomer. Why should the rest of Britain be entitled to it but not us? I contacted the council to point this out and they basically said 'tough, the covenant stays'."
Mr Plumridge says he plans to erect an aerial early in the new year and will wait to see how the council reacts. "Hopefully, by taking a chance I can open the floodgates because there are a lot of people who are not very well off who are losing out financially because of this," he added.
A council spokesman told the newspaper: "The agreement between Harlow Council and NTL came into force in the 1990s when the Government introduced franchising of television broadcasting. As this agreement is due to be renewed in the next few years, we will look at the Freeview issue then."
As we have already reported, the Ofcom Consumer Panel, which informs the TV and communications regulator, have flagged up the fact that some people seem to be restricted from mounting an aerial on their roof.
A common problem
One of the most common problems reported to UK Free TV is that Freeview reception is often impossible with a loft mounted aerial. This is a particular problem with the two multiplexes that broadcast in what is known as 64QAM mode.Digital television is able to offer a greater range of channels to watch by digitally combining (the mathematical term is multiplexing) many channels onto a single transmission frequency.
The transmissions use a system called COFDM, and this can use either 16 or 64 subdivisions (which is called a constellation). Using the lower figure provides a lower bitrate and fewer channels. However multiplex 2 ITV1, 2, 3, 4, CITV, Channel 4, More4, E4 and Film4+1 and multiplex A five, five US, five Life and BBC Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4 use the higher bitrate mode.
A side-effect of this high-rate mode is that is almost impossible to receive using a loft-mounted aerial.
However, after switchover ALL multiplexes will switch to this mode. The broadcasters will increase the power of the transmissions to compensate, but this will only apply to rooftop aerials.
Rooftop aerial bans
Long before people were horrified by Sky's satellite dishes appearing all over the country, the rise of television in the 1950s horrified some people. There were campaigns to stop 'the skyline being ruined by television aerials'. This has led to three situations where TV aerials were banned:1.In conservation areas and national parks.
2.In some council controlled areas where cable TV companies agreed to provide free cable TV of the main four analogue television channels. This was an arrangement made under the Cable and Broadcasting Act 1984.
3. Where there is a covenant as part of the lease which forbids an aerial to be installed on the roof.
The Ofcom consumer panel's advice (section 6.31) is that: Section 134 of the Communications Act 2003 sets out the principle "that no person should unreasonably be denied access to an electronic communications network or to electronic communications services."
Some landlords and tenants may be unaware of the particular issues they face with respect to switchover. There is currently little information available about the level and understanding and expectations regarding switchover amongst landlords.
As new laws trump old ones, it would appear that the 2003 Communications Act would override any other restrictions put in before the act came into force, and would render any restrictions afterwards illegal.
Do you live in a New Town with a fixed analogue cable arrangement, or in a Conservation Area or National Park? Do you hate the site of TV aerials? Let us know!

What a stupid situation.
I must say though some aerial are a lot uglier than a sky dish, and at least a dish can be hiden. But its stil stupid to try to ban roof aerials. (map)

Harlow is one of the worst council in east England. Satellite dishes are also banned. So if you are a foreign born British and want to keep some of your culture with you then tough! As far as I know generally Law says 90 cm maximum without planning permission. Harlow council says not at all! SO I am up for the challenge. Anyone interested in my support please email me at cypriot_01@tiscali.co.uk I was considering taking them to court so why not we do it together

Sunil Kandepalli: The NTL box you leased from NTL only operates with digital cable TV and is not compatible with Sky or Freeview. Under normal contract you should return the box to NTL. Unlike Sky and Freeview you do not own the equipment.

Since I challenged Harlow Council, NTL have introduced a package whereby those people who subscribe to their telephone service can obtain Freeview for a one off payment of £25.00, which includes a Freeview box and installation. As I am a telephone subscriber I have taken advantage of this and now have Freeview, Basically, this was an offer I couldn't refuse as the cost of erecting an aerial and buying a set top box would have been about £400.
However, this doesn't resolve the issue for those people who do not have NTL telephone, so I am continuing to use my best endeavours, such as they are to fight on their behalf.
I do believe that Harlow Council themselves believe the ban is unenforceable; the last email I had from cllr. Rob Eschle seriously intimated that this was the case.
Anyone in Harlow who is prepared to challenge the Council will have my full support, and I will assist them as far as I am able.

Barry Plumridge: Thanks for the information. I presume that you will be getting a NTL box, rather than a Freeview one. Do you know if this will be a loan box? Do you have a contact phone number or email address for anyone else in Harlow who may wish to take advantage of this offer?
Please report anything you find offensive. Report this message
Is is an NTL loan box, the £25 is to cover the cost of installation. As far as I can tell it enables you to receive all the freeview channels. Remember this is only available to subcribers to NTL's telephone service. Dial 150 from your NTL 'phone and speak to customer services. I have to say I found them very helpful (and coming from me that's praise indeed).

One should look and see what is the restriction on having an aerial is, where restrictions are in place.
In many cases it can state, a ROOF TOP aerial is banned, and can not be errected, so get around it and have it fitted at a lower area, maybe on a garage, or outer walll, or the side of the building.
In 2012 the analogue T.V. will be switched off in all areas of the U.K. and replaced with Digital.
At the time of analogue T.V. the indoor aerial was fine in most areas, and those people living in a weak signal area, could always get a booster, however to receive a digital signal in a weak area, even with a booster on an indoor digital area, a signal can not be obtained.
So lets take a case of a weak signal area, where an aerial is not allowed on the property, be it private landlord, or council, and there is no alternative such as Sky or a Cable company operating in the area,
One would be depribed of watching T.V. then, and I ask '' is this a human right ?'' that all persons should have the right to watch T.V. ?
Private landlords / Councils that at present have such restrictions and these were put in place many years ago, when only analogue T.V. was on offer, and an indoor aerial could then have been used, should now give all it's tennants the right to be able to watch digital T.V. and maybe by having just one aerial on its roof, with a multi booster coming off of it, in the same way you see many sets being operated in shops.
This would be a lot less unsightly that where we see these high rise blocks with dozens of aerials on them, when basicly they would have been able to get away with only one, had a little forethought have been given, so ask all people in areas where there is a problem to chase up their landlords / Councils and if a problem, then contact the media and show them up

Unfortunately apart from talking no actual action has been taken against Harlow Council. They do whatever they want to do as long as they are not bothered! This is the case in all areas. Why should I use NTL phone line in order to get Freeview? Why do I even have to get a home phone line at all? I wish to use satellite and receive free channels only. I should be able to use satellite dish up to 90 cm. So here is my suggestion; Lets write to Harlow Council stating the current law and ask them to review their NO aerial Policy. Are you up for it? Let me know @ cypriot_01@tiscali.co.uk

Surely the smart move would be to put an aerial up, then let them take legal action - rather than taking legal action to debate the right to put an aerial up.
The difference is that Harlow council would have to initiate the action, something they simply would not do if their position was untenable....
Put the aerial up, wait for them to take you to court. If they do, then they've had advice that there's a good chance of winning (take the aerial down before the court date). No court summons - you've won by default.
Whereas if you take them to court, they're forced to fight or settle - either way, the outlay for you is larger.
Glad my council aren't that bad!

Ref the argument re Harlow council and the 2003 Telecomms Act:ending up in court needs to be the last option, not the first, unless you have very deep pockets, or unless you can contain the action to the local County Court.
I doubt that Harlow would allow that to be the case. Other bossy councils would find such a decision went against their little empires too, so there is every likelyhood that they would gang up and attempt to escalate the matter to higher courts were the costs strangle justice for the little guy.
Remember the council has a big fat wallet to pay from called the ratepayers and only very rarely will you find councils being called to task for wasting ratepayers money on legal expenses.
They also enjoy a further advantage with access to such funds: they can deploy the most expensive of legal teams (even the cheap ones (hah) aren't exactly renowned for a sense of thrift when it's the client's trough they're feeding from) so you better be prepared for expensive consequences should you lose and have costs awarded against you. Yes, it's blackmail pure and simple, but tell me something new about the way the system works!
A better ploy would be to write to the council, maybe via your solicitor (slightly cheaper than their big brothers) stating the relevant part of the Communications Act and that you believe their original policy/rule now falls due to that act. Ask them to state plainly and clearly, in writing, their position taking into account the new Act. Most importantly you need to take pre-emptive action (before they come back with their usual all encompassing general bluff of "having taken legal advice") by asking them to name the source of their legal advice should they be considering quoting such an action in any reply. Also advise them that you will also be contacting Ofcom for a ruling.
That way you have at least carried out a decent reconnaissance of their position and the ground they will fight from. Equally the nature of the reply should give you, or your solicitor, a good feel for just how much bluff is involved.
Basic priciple of war: do not fight on unkown ground or ground of your enemy's own choosing, without expecting a struggle and possible defeat.
Re the post concerning Lytham and the fail at the local county court: more information needed. Do you have an exact statement of the basis in law that was used to defeat your claim?
Finally let's keep human rights out of it shall we, for 2 reasons: (1) compared to being tortured, murdered, jailed without trial etc missing a bit of the garbage on TV tends to pale into insignificance, and (2) they would just love to turn it into a human rights court case: the process could drag on for years at immense cost! Don't go there!

An update on the situation in Harlow.
On Thursday last, (1st. March 2007) I attended a meeting of the Council's scrutiny committee where Freeview was discussed. To give them their due, they are working hard to resolve the situation and are seeking a meeting with Virgin Media to ascertain what, if anything Virgin Media intend doing about it.
Joe McGill, one of the Council's officers stated that as far as the Council are concerned the covenant stays as in his opinion "the legislation (communications act 2003) is not retrospective" (sic). I did take issue with him on this pointing out that new legislation must by its very nature supersede anything which went before.
Finally, the "Freeview" service from Virgin Media does not provide all the Freeview channels, and following the spat between Virgin and Sky even less so. It could be that I will end up erecting an aerial after all.

Hello Barry , you can erect aerial and nothing will happen unless someone reports you to council. Not All councils have a special team to go around and check if people got aerials. There are several points that you could argue on to present your case to council:
1- Virgin Media only offers you the so called "free" service if you get a phone service from them! So no more ADSL and you will have to get your internet from them to as their line does not support ADSL services.
2- You pay £25 for connection and the box you receive is not yours.(You own the freeview boxes normally but not these ones)
3- Virgin Media performs CREDIT CHECK before giving you any service. So what happens if you have a bad credit history or no history at all? Not fair for people on low income who had some credit problems in past.
So I say bring it on Harlow council, happy and ready to take this matter to court if needed. let me know if you need more info. cypriot_01@tiscali.co.uk

Living in Harlow with a total aeriel ban and being cabled, we tried to sign up to Virgin Media services for Phone/TV/Broadband, their site accepted the order and we heard nothing. I phoned today and was told that Virgin Media have reached their capacity in most parts of Harlow, so if your in that type of area as we are, then you cannot get the freeview package. Virgin said that they were going to get the finance dept to see if they had any spare money from next years budget to upgrade the green junction boxes, but until that happens, if it happens, we cannot have freeview etc.
Phoned the council and they can do nothing except to say that Virgin would put us on a waiting list for if and when they upgrade the system to enable us, and others to get it.Now sending a letter to Bill Rammell the local MP.
What a farce, as we have a son in the town who can receive the packages we want, this make a two tiered system that is unfair. (map)

Forgot to add that a Robert Robson a manager at Virin Media stated that Virgin Media have no obligation to supply anything other than the five standard channels that they do.
So with them not supplying freeview and a total ban on ariels, we are in a catch 22 situation regarding freeview etc. (map)
