Hi Brian,
Is there a problem with the coverage maps for COM 7, 8 on Oxford? The maps for these two show as virtually the same coverage as the BBC A which is 100Kw. COM7,8 are only 5.8Kw and unavailable in Westlea Swindon SN55XN which show up bright green on the COM 7, 8 maps. Also its the same with the Mendip COM 7,8. Are there any plans to increase the power of these?

Brian, Sorry I should have used the PSB 3 BBC B mux as a comparison. This is 100Kw DVB-T2 and carries BBC 1 HD. COM 7 is 5.8Kw DVB-T2 and carries BBC 4 HD and is 12DB down, 1/16 of the power of PSB 3. My Humax HDR FOX T2 receives (via a wideband aerial) BBC 1 HD on ch 57 at 80% signal and 100% quality. BBC4 HD is on ch 31 and the Hummy reports 0% signal and quality. This is not what I would expect to get after viewing the COM 7 coverage map!

There is a problem with the Freeview Reception Map Full Details page. On selecting the full details on the reception map I get a list of muxes in ascending order with the shortcuts to change the order of the display. Problem is that all of the shortcuts take you back to the Mapping page. The properties of the shortcuts look OK to me and I get this with IE and Google browsers.
