That's despite the OFCOM document (as discussed) showing me as being on
the edge of the coverage area. In fact there isn't a sniff of it until
you get to north Doncaster.

Those OFCOM maps are ******** basically.

I don't know if it has now changed (since Freeview), but despite the
proximity of a tower, the signal goes right over our heads. Crappy

Often made in good faith, but the actual on the ground effect is not always

It has something to do with experience against the theory. Bit like bumble
bees should not be able to fly.
Howver they never studied aerodynamics.
