Briantist: And of course it is a tower rather than a mast. It holds the record of being the tallest free-standing structure in the UK.
The concrete for the foundations was poured 24 hours a day for three weeks!

Jim Davies: The 14kW was apparently the earlier plan. According to Digital UK C31 now transmits at 24kW.
It wouldn't help you even if you could receive from Storeton because it doesn't carry COM7. Perhaps you need a booster to bring in COM7.
You probably need a wideband aerial, if you haven't already had one installed.

Jim Davies: If yours is one of the houses that has an aerial on Winter Hill and one on Moel-y-Parc and the feeds are combined then this combination hasn't been possible since the Winter Hill retune of 10th April 2013. In such circumstances I suggest that, assuming that you accept forfeitance of reception of the Moel-y-Parc signals, that the Moel-y-Parc aerial be turned to face Winter Hill. Whilst this might be a Group B one, and therefore not quite as good on C31, it might work well enough to mean you don't need a new aerial.

TimW: Read postings above yours, including the reply from Arqiva, which is the company that runs the transmitters.

G GUY: I can't answer your question.
However, what's the problem? If it's tuning to Cwmgors then, as MikeB says, pull the aerial out for the first 30% (or indeed 50%) so as to miss it out.

Lisa : If it's a Top Up TV box then as Top Up TV has ceased so too has its 14-day EPG. The solution is to change to the 7-day EPG.

rob: I wonder if this could be due to the presence of a 4G base station operating in the 800MHz band (C61 upwards). It might be worth enquirying with at800 to see if this could be a possibility:
