Ch 4 analog

[DFK]

Major body blow losing ch 4 analog pic's. I am in the midlands, clutching at straws but, does anyone know if it is possible to capture pics from further south with specialized equipment?

I don't know the definitive answer but clearly if the transmitters in your area have gone digital you are trying to pick up a signal from a region still pushing out an analogue signal.

Logically you need a bigger aerial to catch the analogue signal.
I base that on the fact that in Spain I pick up the signal from the Astra satellite but because it is focussed on the more northerly parts of Europe so I need a much bigger sat dish than I would need in the UK. If I am trying to pick up wifi over a wider area I use a bigger aerial.

Now you may need to boost the signal and there is fairly cheap kit to do this.

Should still be able to pick up analogue from the areas that haven't switched over yet depending on the size of your aerial/location. Yorkshire and London still haven't switched so whatever transmitter is nearest to you should be your starting point

Thank's for the suggestions.
