Briantist - Now that S4C have announced that they are to drop HD from the end of this year, any word as to what the spare slot will be used for?

Robert Lee: If you don't see Channel 4 HD I would be very surprised. But I suspect that someone will have to decide this Officially.

Briantist: Fully realising that you are a very busy person by having to constantly keep the wealth of information on the site up to date, but I would really appreciate if you could find a time slot to have a check at the feed used to enable access to site via Twitter, as the listings have not been updated since July 5th.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards jb.

I checked and BBC was on K28. I retuned and it was still on K28!
I did a manual tune for K26 and all I got were the likes of E4+1, Dave, Pick TV, Really, Challenge and a number of adult programs.
I do also pick up BBC from Moel y Park.
The aerial is pointing to Storeton (I have a second aerial for another set/room that points to Winter Hill.
I'm a little confused as this page seems to say Storeton should be 28 for BBC - or am I misreading something?
According to this list (above these postings) I am getting the correct things - BBC on 28 and Dave etc on 26?
I think I must be misunderstanding something here.
Same results with/without signal booster and only when it rains. It's fine in dry weather.
Thanks for you patience

Well, it's still doing the same thing. Losing the one mux when it rains!
Must be water getting into the connection but why only the one mux? Same signal strength and quality on all the others regardless of weather. Most odd.
Good job it was dry for the Olympics.

Im sure there are a lot of Welsh viewers in Wales/Cymru who dont want "foreign" programming from England,relating to England alone and concerning England alone to the decent Welsh population of Wales/Cymru as a whole.
Live and let live !

Colin Hill: On checking back on a reply I made to you on July 10th I notice an error in the channel numbers given in my reply concerning Storeton's and Winter Hill's BBC mux numbers, and I therefore apologise for any confusion caused by this error as what you found on checking "is" correct as Storeton's BBC is Ch28 and with Winter Hill being on Ch62.
However as far as the possibility of your problem of one mux dropping being caused by water contamination in the aerial connection, odd things like that are not exactly unheard of but have you tried a test with either a set top aerial or alternatively a short piece of wire connected into the aerial socket? as if on that test you managed to get a picture of sorts on all muxes but still not on the one that drops when on the proper aerial, then that would exclude anything connected with your installation as being the cause of the problem.

Colin Hill:
The indoor aerial picked up nothing at all on anything.
I used a different make of box (HD box usually in the bedroom) and connected it up and it got the signal fine on DTV (while the usual setup was getting a very poor signal in both strength and quality).
The original setup has a recorder in the loop so may be either the older digibox or the recorder - or maybe the connections between them that must be causing the problems?
No idea why it should only affect the one mux why only when it rains though!
At least I know what the weather is!
Thanks for the help. Hopefully it will be OK now. Wish I could make sense of it though.

I am having a problem with my bbc channels, but none of the others. The picture and the sound keep distorting and breaking up, not for long periods,only for seconds, but continuously.
could you let me know what the problem could be.
Thank you
D.Lonsdale
