Its slightly better, but not by much. Its hard to tell with DX signals, it doesn't look much worse than normal though.

Oxford has a pretty decent signal as well.

The only place you will see a perfect (well as perfect as you can get) will be from Crystal Palace which is what we are all watching, although rebroadcast several times.

A switch just took place on the Sutton Mast, the test card shifted to the left slightly, and hasn't moved back yet...

We have reason to believe that there has been a change of source for the Sutton Mast, maybe from Crystal Palace to Oxford or vice versa, but the picture quality has improved...

The quality from Sutton does seem better than before!

When checking the transmitters down South (Oxford, Sandy Heath, Crystal Palace) they all seem pretty good, it really is hard to tell with a DX signal.

Just now, we've gone back to a normal Sutton signal.

Just now, Sutton has rejoined the digital feed displaying a 4:3 Widescreen testcard.

Yup, Sutton has returned to it's own output, which is test card W

Testcard W faded out and the caption that appeared at 2:59am appeared again with an announcement saying 'This is BBC ONE, the work on our transmitters is now complete and we will be returning to BBC News 24 shortly' (or words to that effect) then the caption remained for around 25 seconds. Then at 4:00am, BBC ONE rejoined BBC News 24 for the headlines.

Thats it, its all over! Smile
