Incidentally, Chris bach, it is probably Meol-y-parc you get, not Storeton Wales - check the channels.
S4C is great - live rugby; cricket, lots of singing

The above Welsh Freeview information implies that the 3 multiplexes on C57, C53 and C60 all put out the same programming. This is definitely NOT the case, as, for example, I receive HD programming on C60, ITV, etc on C53 and BBC1, etc on C53.

Robert Lee: Yes, I have to recode the site to make it show the different Welsh options as this is only one of two transmitters like this. Will sort soon.

The ERP for Storeton Wales multiplexes is stated as being 2 kW.
Is not this figure incorrect, and should only be 500 W?
| link to this comment |
Corin: This is correct. Wales transmission are 2kW horizontal. Granada's are 560W vertical.
As the photographs of the mast shows, each Wales transmissions are directed towards Wales and similarly Granada's are in the opposite direction:
