An extra problem for people in Banbury, is that if you draw a line from us to Oxford, then keep going, you hit the Assendon transmitter. And that broadcasts BBC2 Analogue on C68. So 'good' atmospheric conditions result in Oxford's C68 getting drowned out by the analogue signal from Assendon. While 'bad' atmospheric conditions means we don't get the signal anyway. So we only get C68 when the conditions are 'just right'.
This *WILL* change after September, when Oxford stops using C68.
