Hi
We have a problem at The Lodge , partb of |Valley View SA6 5TE. There is a very weak signal from the Craigcefnparc transmitter according to our TV aerial installer who checked it this morning for us. He also tried his own aerial and had the same issue. He has informed us there is a problem with the signal strength.
#Can you advise as soon as possible please. I can be contacted on 07793073811 also.
thanks
