| Mike writes: Given reports of poor performance in some areas on ukfree.tv, I decided to take a look for myself to see what had been done so far and what was proposed. I've attached a number of photos but I'm not sure that any of the pictures of the mast and aerials will be that usable - my camera's only a 3 megapixel, and the light wasn't great. The planning application documents show the new TV transmitting aerial plans: New main transmitting array: 11 tiers of 5 panels New reserve transmitting array: 8 tiers of 12 panels The new main array will replace the emislot cylinder on top of the mast; the reserve will go where the current digital panels are sited. No timetable of when and how this will happen was given. As for the poor performance: the complainers are in the south-east. The digital radiators are on the west side of the mast (slightly north of west) and face south-west, north-west and north-east. There's no planned coverage to the south-east at present! I've labelled my pictures with the rough directions I was facing. |
