TOM BECKETT: If, during the setup, there is the choice of region or network - these being "Yorkshire" and "E Yorks/Lincs" - then you need to select "Yorkshire" if your aerial faces Emley Moor (roughly due west) and "E Yorks/Lincs" if the aerial faces Belmont (roughly due east).
Knowledge of the model number would allow us to view the user manual and hence be more qualified.

Jackie Espley: Refer to jb38's posting @ Friday 2 August 2013 4:03PM. Are you using a Huawei YouView box?

Kieren: The Dolgellau transmitter broadcasts PSB channels only, so you may be receiving all that are available. See here for the full list:

Your aerial should be vertically polarised. If it isn't then it may still work but may give less strength because it is at right angles to the signal.
For the Dolgellau transmitter the aerial used for the former analogue will be suitable.
Judging by the Digital UK predictor you don't have any chance of receiving the COM channels.

Martin: Wideband, this being if Group A channels are used in future.
A log periodic will be your best bet at such close proximity:

Kieren: The COM channels aren't available from all transmitters. The licensees are allowed to decide where they wish to broadcast from and so they do so from the transmitters which will give them most viewers for least cost. See:

I am not familiar with BT's offering with respect to what you can get streamed over the broadband connection. I do know that the two BT Sport channels are carried on one of the COM multiplexes so you won't be able to receive them over the air. I'm not sure whether BT will provide them over your broadband connection.

john: Maybe because your TV keeps defaulting to Wenvoe rather than Mendip. The solution is to manually tune to Mendip.

peter: That is correct. No, an "upgrade" isn't likely and at your location it doesn't appear that you may be able to receive them from another transmitter.
See here for an explanation as to the two-tier system:

Martin: I suggest that as a matter of course you use double-screened coax and join any cables using f-connectors. Lots of information on ATV:

Paul burn: No, a subscription is required for the dubious privilege of using your own box to record.
