[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1118021, member: 415308"] Temporary transmitter at Sutton Bank is now active, covering "Harrogate, Knaresborough, Pickering, Ripon, Masham, Leyburn and northern parts of York" The Chief Exec was just on the radio, the legal issues are all sorted, weather permitting it will take 3 weeks to construct 80m mast at Bilsdale. They will use helicopters to bring in concrete blocks and the mast components. He reckons 90% of households now have coverage... unlikely IMO. Also mentioned optimisation of all the temporary transmitters to work together. Don't know if that just means no interference or as an SFN. Arqiva will work with Age UK and housing associations to identify those without reception of any kind, and install Freesat systems free-of-charge, though only after the temporary mast at Bilsdale is complete. Original mast will be replaced in the middle of next year, to provide services equal to the original mast.
