Ok, you're 28 miles from your transmitter so it's hard work to get a
nice signal from there. Good news is that you appear to have line of
sight to it so there's nothing geographical to interrupt your signal.

Pic of your path copied here (v clean):

Also, you're pre-DSO on a transmitter with a very high planned boost to
power of about 20x come DSO in September.

Bottom line is that you should see a significant boost in performance
come September so I'd say hold off until then before making any
plans/changes.


But, according to this:

DSO is in September NEXT year ...

Ha! Thanks Terry, saw September and assumed _this_ year. What are those
boys doing? A major 500kW transmitter with DSO 14mths away still only
pumping out 6/1.5kW digital? I get the impression Yorkshire is a pretty
congested area signal wise and they are going a bit cagey.

In summary, sorry Mike you're fookd, FTA satellite is all you've got
until next year unless you pay.
