chunkylover57: The channels you do not get are the Commercial ones and the broadcasters have decided not to bother with the Porth transmitter and over 1,000 similar small "filler-in" relays nationwide. They operate on a profit driven basis and cover 90% of the population from 81 of the largest transmitter sites (largest by viewer population). To transmit from the 1,000 plus relays would roughly double their cost of transmission whilst only adding 8.5% of the population to their potential viewer base.

It's a disgrace that they will not provide us with full freeview chanels.
We pay the same as those who have them all.
Not nice.
