Mike - we are not a Liverpool suburb; we are 50 MILES away - and in a different country!

If you look at the map above (right, near top) I am the very southernmost tip of coverage, where it says "Oswestry".

Wrexham is the largest town in N Wales, and should have a local service. Directional tx is possible!

Wrexham

Just found the "Mold" map - listed on the other thread as pop 214547. They must be counting sheep, not people.

Brian - I am a bit confused with these regions. They don't seem related to TV regions as we know them. I presume the powers that be are trying to make littler regions? But I don't think I in LL14 5HD can see "Storeton". We use the Wrekin; and I understand Granada id possible with a long pole (Winter Hill)

Certainly it would make FAR more sense to put Mold and Wrexham into the same area.

I get more confused as I go on!

Why no service for Chester? It seems to be a gap in the Liverpool/Storeton area, but I can't think of any big hills to cut it off. The wirral is pretty flat!

Incidentally, Chris bach, it is probably Meol-y-parc you get, not Storeton Wales - check the channels.

S4C is great - live rugby; cricket, lots of singing

Presumably that transmitter does not work very hard?




I'll get my coat.

Brian - But Chester is NOT in the Liverpool area - which, I now note, includes a "petal" of Winter Hill

Peter D - can you beleive a population of over 200,000 for Mold and surrounds, as shown?

Do you live in the lee of a big hill towards Meol-y-parc? Your local kebab shop gets good freeview

Liz - Dunno what Alibi is, but whatever you have you should still get all the formerly analogue channels.

I was suggesting that your informant as to the soundness might not have been wholly impartial!

Would they not integrate with local radio?
