Hi there...
Salcombe Transmitter...
You list ITV4 +1 in your listing, but at present we do not receive this channel.
However we have recently acquired ITV3 and something called 'Sewing Quarter'.
Just thought you'd like to know...
John.

Just an FYI .... Sewing Quarter has recently been replaced by More 4+1
I can't actually see More 4 in your channel listing, but we do receive it.
