well I don't even get normal freeview here yet. Because, you know, Wales isn't flat, or some $h1t.

See, the Auld Country is better. In some ways.

Alas, geographic features can really mess up RF reception. Unfortunately there's not a lot anyone can do right now.

I guess they could build a few more antenna around here

But failing that, I wish the local shops would stop selling freeview boxes - you can't use them in the local area!

I'm sure they have been told that they are behind national sales targets for flogging the blighters, but I doubt if the management has realised you can't flog something that doesn't work!

It should be hopefully sorted in the next few years - the power is currently limited to about 1/3 of what broadcasters want due to analog TV transmissions.
