Just noticed Bay TV Clwyd is coming on air from Moel Y Parc, Ch 26, alias Mold TV.
any idea of the coverage plot yet as the local ones for Winter Hill are really useful?

Moel y Parc transmitter is located in Wales, United Kingdom not England UK as described. Please alter the text or move the transmitter. Thanks

In some respect, Brian, I think Richard is right.
It should say Flintshire, Wales, not Flintshire, England.
The Moel-Y-Parc signals may be receivable mostly in England than Wales and the masts' location has a CH (Chester, England) Postcode but geographically the mast is in Wales.
The Postcode database should be able to differentiate if a mast has a CH postcode as to whether the mast is in England or Wales.

Stuart Owens: Sorry, I didn't mean to deny that the transmitter is in Wales.
It's just taken a bit of tracking down to find out that there was a database table I had forgotten about that was caching the names.
The problem was with my caching logic!
All is now correct and this transmitter now shows the correct location of Moel-Y-Parc (Flintshire, Wales) .

HI
As i live in C64 OSH and get my freeview SD + HD from Moel y Parc ,which covers most of the north west and north east Wales , Does anybody know why the ITV HD channel is from the West Midlands and not the North West ie Granada area ,as to me this would be more useful .Or is there something that i am missing?
many thanks Dave

dave williams:
Currently, HD services generally carry a 'national' version of the local programmes you normally get on SD services. The reason is said to be limited availability of HD muxes.
So you'll probably not get your local news bulletins but one of the national variety or one from a broader region, as you currently have.
Solution depends on the availability of transmission 'space' on the HD muxes and the willingness of the broadcaster to provide such services.

dave williams: There are only a few ITV HD regions, this being due to cost and the fact that the additional costs of having different ones would yield little benefit because the local programming is in standard definition anyway. For the same reason BBC One HD does not have regional content.
