Hi,
Is there any chance that the Delph transmitter will get any more channels? It's very frustrating that we only get 3 multiplexes when people on the Saddleworth transmitter up the road can get all 7.
Thanks.

Matt: No, there is no chance whatsoever. The commercial operators declined the offer of frequencies as providing their services from this transmitter would be unprofitable.
