S

Signal strength colour indicator:

● Very likely to receive with an outdoor aerial, services (analogue) or multiplexes (digital) covering the selected region are highlighted in green.

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

● May not receive with an outdoor aerial in some areas of the selected city, other areas may find reception extremely difficult. A high gain high quality aerial may improve reception.

Please be aware that this signal indicator is not 100% accurate and should be used as a rough guide only. Some very low power relays that aren't listed here exist in order to improve reception in areas where reception from the main transmitter may be poor. The signal strength is dependant on your exact location, the type of aerial being used and the direction the aerial is pointing. The website owner will hold no responsibility for any disappointment that may occur as a result of using this as a guide.

Region

Analogue - The regional variations received from the service. Although the majority of programmes are identical nation wide, regional news is often broadcast on BBC One and ITV 1 as well as occasional differences with factual programs. Channel 4 only differs with advertising and can be considered national for all programme content. BBC Two in England only very occasionally broadcasts different regional news content in which case refer to the equivalent BBC One transmitter site. Five is identical nation wide.

Digital - The definition of "region" depends on the multiplex. Multiplex 1 includes the services BBC One and BBC Two. Refer to this column for the relevant BBC One region as on analogue. BBC Two carries the London region from all transmitter sites in England so tune to BBC Two on analogue if in England and outside London during occasional regional news broadcasts. Multiplex 1 also includes 2 additional radio services from transmitter sites outside England. Multiplex 2 includes the service ITV 1 so the column refers to the ITV 1 region. Multiplex A differs slightly with the channel line up in the four UK countries. It includes Tele G in Scotland only and S4C in Wales only amongst other differences. The remaining three multiplexes are identical nation wide.
