David Thomas: Briton Ferry is a Freeview Lite transmitter which only broadcasts the PSB channels (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5) and some of their offshoots. The coverage prediction for your postcode shows the commercial multiplexes from Kilvey Hill to be weak at your location, so your best option is likely to be Freesat if you want more channels without paying a subscription.
