Help with Television sets?

Andy Pryce: You need a Cat 5 cable aka ethernet cable. There's loads of sites selling them or a computer outlet will do.
Ethernet is a network standard that works over cable lengths of up to 100m. Quality isn't lost; it doesn't work like that.
Powerline adapters...wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot bargepole. As well as the electromagnetic polution, it would seem a total waste of electricity when the alternative is so simple:

Mr.B.W.Foxen: Yes, or you may be able to avoid the Welsh transmissions by unplugging the aerial during the part of the scan that the Moel-y-Parc transmitting station broadcasts.
Have your aerial out until 50%. Then view the signal strength screen on each of these to see which you are tuned to:
BBC One | WH=C50 | MyP=C45
ITV | WH=C59 | MyP=C39
BBC One HD | WH=C54 | MyP=C42
ITV3 | WH=C58 | MyP=C51
Pick TV | WH=C49 | MyP=C52
Film4 | WH=C55 | MyP=C48
WH=Winter Hill and MyP=Moel-y-Parc
There is a little bit of overlap in the highest Moel-y-Parc channel and the lowest Winter Hill one, although the Commercial channels (51, 52 and 48) from Moel-y-Parc are at half transmission power to the Public Service (45, 39, 42) ones.

I notice that, from Wenvoe, my aerial orientation should be 'Horizontal max' for the high powered channels, and the lower powered ones are Horizontal -3dB. What is horizontal -3dB?

Derek Matravers: The text following the "Horizontal" relates to the power. The highest power is "max" and "-3dB" means what it says relative to the "max", which in this case is half-power.
