Following the Silk Commission's recommendations its very likely that Wales will get the same level of autonomy that Scogtland & Northern Ireland currently have now.

I think the reason why so many aerials in Wales are pointed towards English transmitters is because in the days of analogue Channel Four was more preferable to watch than S4C. Living in the South I cannot speak for the North but I can also assume its because for them Cardiff is too far away. But the UK government is proposing local tv for north Wales.
I'm aware of the BBC Wales survey, however it does state that there is still a larger number in favour than opposed, and considering whats happening post-Scottish referendum (assuming they vote no) we are likely headed for towards a 'federal structure for the UK' rather than what we had before. Regardless of whether or not we are for or against it, the Welsh Governnment already has powers over health, education, transport, local government etc and therefore we do need a healthy media in Wales to hold make them more accountable.

Some of the news reports on BBC News relate to England only rather than the UK anyway

Clive lloyd: Its actually on Channel 23. Channel 8 in Wales is occupied by Channel Four. Try manually tuning C51.

Hi, I am unable to pick up some BBC channels. I can get BBC 1 & 2 Wales perfectly fine. Yet BBC Four, News Channel are both very poor quality. I can also get the English (West) versions of BBC 1 & 2 in the 800s however they are also very poor quality. What I don't understand is how its possible to receive BBC 1 & 2 perfectly okay yet not the other channels when they are in the same multiplex? I am using an indoor aerial in CF24 4QD. Yes I know thats not recommended but I always thought all channels in the same multiplex share the same signal.
