Default Freeview?

Hello

When will freeview expand to cover more of the country? My parents (in Edenbridge(ish)) wouldn't mind having a few more channels but it isn't available. It also isn't available where I live in Sussex.

I thought that as analogue TV is supposed to be switched off soon they had an aggresive plan to cover everywhere.

Thanks,

Steve

If its any consolation digital signal outputs will be cranked right up when analogue transmissions are ended, so poor reception areas should be adequately covered. They need increased bandwidth just as much though; I can receive most channels, but on a large LCD television the artifacts and macro blocks are clearly visible.
