Julie: Film4 (15) is broadcast from the same transmitter as used by ITV (Wales) / Channel 5 etc and as such your Mum should be able to view it, if for any reason she is unable to, then try carrying out a retune on her set.
As far as extra channels are concerned, a test code of the area fed into the reception predictor did not indicate reception as being possible from anywhere except the local Gilfach Freeview Light station. However that said, a Google earth rooftop check around the higher areas of Gilfach (Dan Y Bryn) could suggest that reception "might" be possible from the Wenvoe main station located at 12 miles away, as a couple of aerials were seen pointing in that direction. But though it all depends on where your Mum is located relative to the area mentioned, a post code (or one from nearby e.g: shop /post office) required for checking.
By the way. Although your posting was made under the Bargoed stations heading, my reply was purely with reference to you having said that your Mum resides in Gilfach.
