Yes, it's worth keeping an eye out here, because the dates for each
year are all published in one place (but you need Flash installed just
to view the data - bloody stupid).

I'm on Nottingham & my installer had a job getting decent reception,
using a large Blake aerial, hefty pole & masthead amp in the end. Is
it likely the wick will need turning down come the end of march?
The installation is a bit of an eyesore & I wouldn't mind something
less substantial.
I'm also toying with the idea of a DVB-T2 card for the HTPC so I can
get C4 HD to complement my BBC & ITV HD from sat, but only one on the
market as far as I can see right now.

Well, Nottingham's DSO power rises from 40 watts ERP to 400 watts at
DSO, so that's a 10dB increase in power. What I don't know is if
Nottingham DTT has any directional restrictions on DTT currently, if so,
and if you're in a null, the increase for you could well exceed 10dB ?

I see the COM muxes won't power up until September though, so I'll
probably look at removing the eye sore then & stick up a Group K.
What are the effects of too much signal?
The whole thing is a bit of a palava, well documented in other
threads. I only use the DTT for Fiver (Thomas) & Dave/Ja Vu & as an
extra tuner source on the HTPC when the sat tuners are in use.
I'll be glad when it's all over.

With DTT the same as any other reception defect, break up for mild
cases, and if the tuner is well and truly saturated, a blank screen and
silence. Depends how good the tuner is too. Remember currently it is
getting blasted with the analogue signals that are generally much higher
than the DTT muxes, after DSO those will be gone. I'd suck it and see first.
