7. Please note the included portable antenna may only be used in areas where
signal is very strong. There may be difficulties in receiving signal with the
portable antenna in some regions at present, this is due to the fact that
Freeview (www.freeview.co.uk) is yet to operate in full power in the UK.
The government aims to achieve a full switchover by 2012, which will
occur in stages, region by region between 2008 and 2012, at present the
quality of Freeview reception varies in different regions across the UK.
As mentioned on the Freeview website, only 73% of the UK population is
able to receive Freeview at present and only a small number of households
might be able to use a set top aerial at present. This only applies if you live
in an area with coverage close to a transmitter, but reception would still be
unreliable and they strongly recommend that you use a roof top aerial for
good reception.
The reception will be improving along with the progress of the Digital
Switchover Program. Reception may also be affected by various factors
such as how close you are to transmitters, tall buildings, thick walls,
ceilings and weather etc.
