Jim Margetts: You won't get ITV2+1 back, as it has moved to a commercial multiplex which is not broadcast from this transmitter.

However, if you get yourself a Freeview+ (or Freeview+HD) box, you can set it record ITV2 programmes on series link, and so you can recreate ITV2+1 for yourself.

Nick Boosey: I can't say without your postcode, but generally speaking you should use a rooftop aerial, not a loft aerial.

The need for a wideband aerial depends on the transmitter you are using, if it is Brecon it won't make any difference because it only transmits the channels listed at the top of the page.

nick boosey: Sorry, but only Wenvoe has the commercial multiplexes, the "power up" makes no changes to this or any other transmitter.
