Aerials, group changes

At this transmitter group, the channels used to broadcast pre digital switchover DTT are all within the same aerial group - group C/D.

At DSO, homes recieving TV from Galashiels or Jedburgh could revert to a group B aerial but their existing group E or wideband aerial will be satisfactory.

Aerials, communal systems

Channel changes at Eyemouth meant that channelised communal systems needed to be re-tuned at DSO1 and DSO2.

Adjacent transmitter groups
