Hugh Matthews:
For the Llanfoist transmitter, your aerial should be pointing at compass bearing 9 degrees, that's 9 degrees east of due North.
The aerial rods (or squashed Xs) should be vertical. You should get good reception.
BUT be also aware that the transmitter is currently listed for Planned Engineering with "Screen may go black on all or certain channels".
If you have no signal, DO NOT RETUNE it usually clears your correct tuning.
To compound matters, there currently is periodic weather related "Tropospheric ducting" that can cause interference from distant transmitters for periods of time where you may lose signal, again don't retune. In your location there's also the possibility you could get signals from Mendip in certain circumstances, so if you have retuned, check in your TV's tuning section that you are correctly tuned to Llanfoists UHF channels which are C29, C31, & C37 (the last for HD).
