It appears that there's an omission from the 10 site list and a second omission from the 20 site list. Waltham and Rowridge appear in the 30 sites with frequency allocations but they seem to be missing from the list of 30 organized into tens of priority.
I'm fairly sure that the Communications Act 2003 changed the rules on cross ownership so that any one proprietor was limited to a maximum holding of 20% across all media, made up of any mixture.
As I understand things, London Live will transmit only from Crystal Palace. If you can't receive Crystal Palace transmissions, you'll have to turn to cable or satellite to receive the station. As I understand the things I've read, there are no plans for any form of single frequency network.

From the larger relays, Guildford is on the phase two list to get its own local TV station.
When I did my retuning this morning, I found that my YouView box and DVD recorder retuned without any problem. However, the TV would only retune if I plugged the aerial directly into it, rather than via the two boxes. Should I have my aerial and cabling checked? The aerial is very small, minimal number of elements, but I do live on the summit of a hill. The cabling I suspect is 40 years old, though I think the aerial may date from the start of Channel 5.

Will there be another retune when local TV starts? Will I be able to add that mux manually? If yes, on what channel?
Aerialman makes the point about which I was going to ask. The previous owners of the house I live in had satellite. If I were to have the opportunity to buy a very cheap Freesat box, I might, but I'm happy with Freeview only, though I've also got a YouView box. How many people have Freeview + Freesat? How many people have Sky + Freesat (presumably on a second TV)? How many people have cable + Freesat?
