Graham Richards:
Just because other people are not getting the benmefit of all channels from Presceli doesn't mean you can't. If you look at the predicted reception at your location, go to Coverage Checker - Detailed View it will show you that reception from Kilvey Hill is expected to be variable to poor whereas Presceli is expected top be good on all channels.
