Hi,just a query re :- Channels in the LL40 1LT
area, Will this area have all the remaining channels in the near future on Freeview ?. At
present there is a limited amount of channels
that can be viewed. I have been told that this
problem is that the reception is relayed to the Mast at LL40 1LT via relay stations.
Awaiting your Response.
Regards John H Williams

John Humphrey Williams: No. Those broadcasters that don't serve your area have chosen the 80-odd most lucrative transmitters.

Hello. I just tuned in a new Freeview HD TV and unlike my Freesat I can't get CH4 HD but only S4C HD. I am in SA44 and in line of site to the transmitter and get a high signal. I thought both were available here and the Freeview HD availability page indicates I should get CH 4 HD.
Will CH4 HD come to Preseli in the future?
Thanks Mike.
