That is not my experience. I have been watching freeview exclusively for
around 18 months from the Mendip transmitter. I have an aerial in the
loft, and only very very rarely do I see any compression artifacts.
Most of the time, especially when there is high pressure, freeview
delivers a far superior picture than analogue on my system.

No doubt you will say that this is 'absolute rubbish' but I can only
speak as I find. For me, it works well and I am very satisfied.

On the other hand, my Son in Edinburgh has Sky, and every time the wind
blows, he loses the picture because (apparently) trees interrupt the
signal, and the dish vibrates.

For me analogue reception is infinitely better than freeview since I
can't get freeview!

That sucks... :P...
I personally think every home should have got FREE BBC STB's that allowed
UpScaling (bbc gets first dibs on all spectrum and the cost is passed on to
the OTHER spectrum purchase holders)...
If you cant get FreeView then you shouldnt have to pay the TellyLisence ;P
