Re: UK Digital Switchover - w_scan results for Mendip transmitter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Rupert,

It looks like you're picking up more than just Mendip there; Mendip only
has 6 muxes: http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=ST564488

Unless it's announcing other frequencies? I'll do a rescan in MythTV and
see what happens.

As the switchover progresses and transmit powers are increased, however,
some antennae will pick up signals from more than one transmitter. So we
should be careful not to assume that the muxes we see are necessarily
from the transmitter we think we're pointing at!

Cheers,
