Are there any plans to extend the channels transmitted/relayed by the Fodderty Relay Transmitter ?
Strathpeffer is poorly served by TV transmitters and while a few channels are better than none, residents of Dingwall (3 miles away) get a full service.

Duncan MacPhail: No, not likely. See here:

Mrs A MacAskill: There are no plans to add any additional channels to any lite transmitters such as Fodderty. The commercial broadcaster were given the opportunity to add their channels to additional transmitters at digital switchover, but were not interested in doing so.
