Moves to improve Spanish Digital television in local areas

The Balcones and surrounding areas area have serious problems to receive the TDT digital terrestrial television signal.
The regional secretary for Public Administrations, Rafael Peset, has announced an order has been given to duplicate power of the DTT repeater installed at the top of the Casilla de Torrevieja.
Since the analogue blackout, some ares on the costa have been suffering problems to receive the signal from the digital terrestrial television reception and a new board will be installed inside the repeater, which will extend the coverage area.
From the Generalitat they are considering to install a new TDT ( Digital Terrstrial Transmission) repeater in San Miguel de Salinas to improve the reception of this signal in the municipalities. This new location would also improve the DTT signal in the province of Alicante Pilar de la Horadada and Orihuela, especially on the coast, in areas of housing estates.

Channel 4+1 group of channels breaking up

If you are experiencing channel breakup on Channel 4 +1, E4, More 4, it is occuring all over the Costa Blanca, and apparently in the UK too. There does not seem to be an official explanation but it is definitely not your receiving equipment!

It could be that its a fault / persistant interference on the uplink from the service providers but is a broadcast issue, not a reception issue, it occurs before shot changes on these channels. Our guess is they are either using new video encoders, with poorer shot detection. Or possibly reducing the bitrate to fit in E4 HD or likely that they have just added another C4+1 channel (c4m) and overloaded the transponder

However with increasing costs and a price increase from the manufacturer. As of the 1st of May 2010 a new STB ( cable receiver DVB-C) will be €80.00.including IVA
