Thanks for the responses, I've realized that the Breidden is between our location in Oswestry and Long Mountain. In fact Rodneys Pillar is directly South of us, so we are unlikely to get a decent signal from Long Mountain.I think that Freesat is the way to go for the Welsh programmes.
Many thanks
Tom Williams.

Long Mountain,This surely must take the award for the UK's most unreliable TV transmitter.

This transmitter has had digital Freeview since 2009.
Some won't get it until 2013.
I'm sure there are a few people who think their transmitter is worse.

@Briantist "Aerialman: Being off air for 12 minutes?"
For how often it *does* go off-air. While it's been broadcasting DVB-T since 2009, there's little point in it doing so if it can't be relied on not to stop broadcasting at a crucial point in the middle of a drama, for example, or during any other programme that other people consider to be important to them.

PSB1 BBCA MUX fell off air twice just now - 12:24 to 12:25, then 12:29 to 12:33. Unlike most of the previous outages, the MUX stopped being broadcast. On both occasions PSB2 carried on broadcasting perfectly fine.

Richard Jones: Yes, this is a fault. The HD multiplex stayed on air too.
