[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1060574, member: 330868"] Presumably you're round the Worcester area like me then? :D I used to live on the North East side of the city, and we could get COM7 and COM8 from Sutton Coldfield fairly nicely there because of the shielding provided by the high ground round Elbury Mount and the old Tolladine golf course in the Mendip kind of direction (even though I could just about pick up Mendip BBC-A on an indoor aerial in the South facing upstairs bedroom!) We used to use a group B XB10 aerial there, but that was before the use of 55/56. The Birmingham local mux on 51 used to come in fine though. Ridge Hill is already using 55 and 56 co-channel with Sutton Coldfield. It's worth bearing in mind that since the whole 55/56 SFN plan has started, they've lengthened the guard interval of these multiplexes to make them slightly less susceptible to interference between the transmitters, so you may find they work a bit better than they used to once Mendip moves over. The problem round here often seems to be that Sutton Coldfield isn't massively strong even in the parts of the area that use it. I think the Lickey Hills block the signal a bit. Now I live lower down in the centre there's no chance of getting COM7 or 8 because we have to use Malvern... Ridge Hill is possible for some people nearby but it's too poor here. It's a pity neither Bromsgrove or Malvern carry the two extra muxes. [/QUOTE]
