Wenvoe (Cardiff, Wales) Full Freeview transmitter

Caerphilly

Hello. Please help. I have recently moved to Caerphilly area CF83 1DH. I have aerial on roof and am connected to Mynydd Machen. However I am missing out on the other multiplexes that offer Dave, Film4 etc.. and so would like to connect to Wenvoe transmitter. Can anyone tell me how to do this (I am a real beginner) and also if its even actually possible in my location as Caerphilly mountain (hill) may be in the way? Thanks very much. Alex Theo

Dave Lindsay: Thanks for your rapid response. How do I go about stopping any signals from van terrace? However like you said, it may not be an issue as it is vertical?

Regarding neighbouts, my mother (who is not exactly a neighbour but only lives 1 mile away) does pick up OK from Wenvoe but it could well be that she is not as close to the mountain as I am. If this is the case are there any other ways around this?

Also, I notice further up on this feed you replied to somebody from Bedwas on 11 Sept and you suggested he connect to Mendip. Would this be possible for me? I am only 2 miles from bedwas with no hills/mountains in between. He then replied to you saying he connected OK and so maybe it could work for me? How do I go about trying to connect to Mendip? Also you mentioned a duplexer. Since, unlike him, I am able to connect to Mynedd Machen maybe a duplexer would work for me and I could receive Welsh COMS from Mahcen and PCB's from Mendip? Thanks again, Alex

sorry, I got my COMS and PSBs wrong way around! I meant I could get my COMS from Mendip maybe?

Dave Lindsay: Thanks again for your help Dave. I may give Mendip a try anyhow but failing that I will probably look to freesat as an alternative. Not something I wanted to do but may be no other choice.
