TV digital

Has anybody been told where Portishead transmitter television digital is to be located on switchover day ? please. It looks like the top of the Down Redcliff Bay, it has the best selection listed and would save us turning to Mendip 1 or 2, BBC which is often difficult to pick up. Presumably we all turn west on 27th and 7th but would receive Cardiff before that date if we turn too soon, not a thought I relish looking at the English capital of Wales. The information is somewhat sparse and the map too small to check in exactitude, so if clarity is available, otherwise I may as well leave it pointed at Bristol N.E., where I can tune into Currys Comet and John Lewis almost perpetually. The cost the cost, my 'orse for a Gold Cup on plastic matting. Richard III, up to date as Shakespeare was at The Times. I do not fancy my chances climbing from the sand beach of Brittany to the cliff side of new development aka Redcliff, almost as bad as Dieppe, or Gallipoli. Mind you I have never managed much as Anglo Saxon and Welsh inclined to rise toward Brittanic Atoll and being more interested in Scots Ross these days that just makes it the greater agony to suffer Europe bureaucracy during financial scandals and tax vanishing tricks, up flood channelled plains. I prefer not the BBC anyway due the propaganda emanated from TV.

How did the primary switch over phase go for you this morning?
The new muliplex transmitting BBC1 and BBC2 etc (on ch43) from Bristol Kingsweston is now providing my vertically polarised wideband aerial with maximum signal strength and maximum signal quality.
We can't really ask for more than that now, can we?

The Portishead transmitter may only be one mile from your home but like Redcliffe bay [a separate mast] after switchover it will only provide a basic service. I would strongly suggest you realign your aerial to bristol kingsweston which despite being almost 5 times further away will provide you with the full range of digital services. It's located 72 degrees east north-east from you. With the increase in transmission strength on switchover from bristol kingsweston there should be absolutlely no requirement for you to to use the mendip transmitter.
