Not forgetting Sandy Heath (Anglia region) and it's dependant relays at Luton, Kimpton and Northampton which completed DSO stage 1 on 30 March.

DSO stage 2 completes on 13 April, but the COM mux will stay in their pre DSO slots and powers for several months.

We were one of the first to switch over.
At first the freeview reception was quite bad and I thought that here is a case of technology moving forward too fast, however they didn't finish off the top of the transmittter until they had completed the switch off of the analogue. i'm happy to report that over the last 12 months there have been no issues at all with reception.
Moral - if at first you receive intermittent reception be patient.
