The name of the multiplex that is carried on a channel block number or the multiplex name that a service is carried on.

S

Signal strength colour indicator:

● Very likely to receive with an indoor aerial, multiplexes covering the selected region are highlighted in green.

● Fairly likely to receive with an indoor aerial, may require a larger or outdoor aerial in some areas of the selected city.

● Unlikely to receive with an indoor aerial in most areas of the selected city. An outdoor aerial may or may not improve reception.

Please be aware that this signal indicator may not be 100% accurate and should be used as a rough guide only. The limit of up to 7 multiplexes in each area means that the same channel blocks may be used for multiplexes in adjacent areas reducing the chance of good reception. The signal strength is dependant on your exact location, the quality of aerial being used and the direction the aerial is pointing. The site owner will hold no responsibility for any disappointment that may occur as a result of using this as a guide.
