I live in Brecon. A few weeks ago I used to get itv2+1.
Now its gone.
Is there any way of getting it back or have we all lost it completely?

Jim Margetts: You won't get ITV2+1 back, as it has moved to a commercial multiplex which is not broadcast from this transmitter.
However, if you get yourself a Freeview+ (or Freeview+HD) box, you can set it record ITV2 programmes on series link, and so you can recreate ITV2+1 for yourself.

In essence,having just got bt vision(which is very good)but the same number of freeview channels,if i change my current loft aerial to a high band digital aerial will i receive more channels?

Nick Boosey: I can't say without your postcode, but generally speaking you should use a rooftop aerial, not a loft aerial.
The need for a wideband aerial depends on the transmitter you are using, if it is Brecon it won't make any difference because it only transmits the channels listed at the top of the page.
