I can't get nothing! But if I go to a relatives house about 5 or 6 miles from me, she can get Newsroom South East and Carlton/LWT, so when I want London pics I just take a tape over there!
I can get a quite good reception from Crystal Palace for Carlton/LWT (In fact that's my favourite now, I don't watch Carlton Central anymore!!) and Moel-y-Parc for S4C, HTV etc etc

If I got one of those ariels what could I pick up from Glasgow?
Hi Martin
When the conditions are good, it's just a matter of pointing in the right direction and tuning to the right channel. Here are some interesting possibles from Glasgow (in rough order of likelihood):
Border TV on ch. 28 and BBC North-East on ch. 30 from Caldbeck (86 miles)
Grampian TV from Durris on ch. 25 (108 miles)
Ulster TV on ch. 24 and BBC N. Ireland on ch. 31 from Divis (110 miles)
Grampian TV from Angus on ch. 60 (70 miles - closer than Durris but weaker)
Tyne-Tees TV on ch. 29 and BBC North-East on ch. 33 from Bilsdale (160 miles)
There are also loads of STV and BBC Scotland prospects from various places yin and a', but the above are the 'interesting' ones. Please post if you have any success - indeed, might get more distant too!

Hi Teleonline
Unless you're in a 'black spot' you could probably extend your range that last 5-6 miles with a bit of juggling...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but how much would a typical DX set-up cost ?
Hi Ashley
You don't really need anything special, just the ability to point your aerial in the right direction and tune your TV to the right channel.
