Late-breaking channel change: BBC A may be starting on C50, or may start on C62 and move to C50 at DSO 2.

Barry Walton: Ridge Hill should generally give coverage in Ross on Wye and will give you far more channels than the local relay, however we need a full postcode (or one from a nearby pub/school/shop/etc) to be able to see what the predicted coverage is at your exact location.
