Freesat back to Freeview
After buying DVB-S cards for the Media Centers in the house so I could get FTA HD channels, it's somewhat annoyed me that BBC have now decided to move over to DVB-S2 in the past weeks. That means that for all but one tuner in the lounge PC, I am HD-less Sad

Equally annoying is that when I had my terrestrial aerial put up 5 years ago I pointed to the Waltham transmitter as it gave the best DVB-T signal at the time, however I've just looked at ukfree.tv and see that not only is Sandy Heath the more powerful transmitter that covers my area, but it's been transmitting Freeview HD over DVB-T2 since increasing its signal strength 7 fold in April! Now I have to do a Rod Hull and climb on my roof to turn the damn thing around.

So as Media Center has a better guide under Freeview than Freesat, I'm going to make the jump back to terrestrial. Especially more so now that HD is available.

Only now I just have to find some DVB-T2 cards... Rolleyes
