colour indicator: ● Very likely to receive with an indoor aerial, services covering the selected region are highlighted in green. ● Fairly likely to receive ● May not receive with an indoor aerial in some areas of the selected city, other areas may find reception extremely difficult. An outdoor aerial may improve reception. Please be aware that this signal indicator may
not be 100% accurate and should be used as a rough guide only. Overcrowding
of the wavebands mean same or similar frequencies may be used for adjacent
services 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.
