Residents living near this broadcast tower cannot and i repeat cannot point to one of the full freeview
80 transmitters as there is a mountain in the way. And its pointless having this relay station if its only going to provide 34 channels.

If you use bad language your post will be filtered by the automatic software on this site.
As you haven't given a full postcode, we can't advise if reception of some other multiuplexes from another transmitter may be possible. There are parts of your area that can receive other transmitters.
If you have a Smart TV and a reasonable internet connection, it's possible to stream quite a few of the other channels for free.
