Transmitter engineering: 19:00 And still no freeview signal from Rheola mast. Can someone confirm that it's still off and that it is being worked on?
Aerial is on roof eaves with direct view of Rheola mast.

James: Can you not receive from Kilvey Hill which would give you the full complement of Freeview channels?
Digital UK suggests excellent reception, although there is a ridge of higher-ground in the way about 2.5 miles from you.
