Thanks Dave, that really clears things up. Always the way in rural areas - last to get any decent services!
I've been doing some investigating since you posted the reply, and you're right about the Oxford transmitter which serves the other side of Cirencester. Ridge Hill seems to be another one relativly close by.
Would you mind explaining how I would go about receiving direct from a transmitter?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks for your advice already. It's certainly opened my eyes to a few facts!
