Hi,

Is it likely that transmitters around this area will never broadcast the COM channels? or will these eventually become available, also is the restriction due to the transmitter's maximum power output.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

Very unlikely you or any relay transmitter that hasn't got them already will ever get them, as always its down to money & a lack of proper regulation.

hi,

would buying a booster box increase the amount of digital channels received as Llangollen is listed as a 'Digital Lite' area please? Thank you.

Dave: No, it won't. You may be able to use another full-service transmitter, but you have not provided a full postcode.
