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. |
