Your website says no current problems reported with the Dawlish relay transmitter, but we and several other people in this area have constantly been phoning Digital UK, Freeview and BBC Reception in London, to report alsmost unwatchable BBC channels due to freezing and momentary sound loss.
At last today I have been told that the relay is transmitting BBC frequency on 'Low' but other frequencies are normal. Are they at last working on it, or has it been on 'Low' since the switchover? My BBC frequency is 62(-1). What does the (-1) mean? No-one can tell me.

Susan Hubbard: Can you please see Dawlish digital TV transmitter | ukfree.tv - independent digital television and switchover advice, since 2002 for information.

The "C62-" means that the channel is broadcast in the C62 frequency slot, but moved down a very small amount. This is because after switchover C63 will be used for non-digital TV purposes, so the allocation on C62 is moved down slightly to prevent future interference.

All three multiplexes are broadcasting on the normal power as far as I can see...

I had an Amstrad DRX550 Sky box connected to the TV upstairs via the RF out2 port 9as well as the the TV in the lounge). The coax in from the outside aerial was always connected. (the RFout1 port was to the DVD recorder) I have now changed to an Amstrad DRX 280 Sky+ box with the same connections. However the upstairs TV does not receive the Sky signal! I tried doing an auto scan on the TV but it dosn't find the Sky signal. I have redone the connections back to the original Sky box & the TV receives it OK! Do I need to do something with the Sky+ box settings or something else??

Ian Forshaw: Find out the RF channel number your old box used, and then use this on the new one. Please see How do I change the RF output channel on a Sky Digibox? | ukfree.tv - independent digital television and switchover advice, since 2002 for details.

Eureka - Thanks so much it worked a treat. Ian

Ian Forshaw: Always happy to hear that.
