News - Index - Television - Transmitter Information

Television is certainly one of the most influential forces of our time. Through the "Goggle-box" you are able to receive news, sports, entertainment, information and commercials.

Advancement in technology, means you are able to have a wider choice of your viewing subject. Digital television, provides sound in excellent quality, crispness and images showing every detail in the picture you see. Freeview is the digital TV system which uses your aerial. Signals are transmitted in the normal way from a transmitter. You need a set top box to decode them into normal pictures and sound for your set.

As technology improves we will soon be receiving high definition television with lifelike pictures and digital sound. The higher resolution produces clarity like you have never seen from a picture tube.

 

Lyneham is primarily served by the Mendip transmitter near Wells in Somerset, providing BBC1, BBC2, ITV West, Channel 4 and Channel 5. You may receive Freeview digital tv through your aerial, but it is advisable to check with a neighbour if they have a satisfactory signal before investing in a television top decoder. Some areas of Lyneham have poor reception pockets. Alternatively, if you want interference free viewing, Sky television provides a better all-round picture.
