Is there currently (16:40) with the ogmore vale free view transmitter? I can't get any bbc or itv channels. I have also checked with a neighbour and they have confirmed the same. We both live in the nantymoel area.

Mr S Partridge: The transmitter engineering post which has appeared after you posted confirms that the transmitter has been off air since 13:26 this afternoon. Do not attempt to retune, your channels will return once the transmitter is back on air.
