dibble```` : Why are you using the Ogmore Vale transmitter? Click on the DigitalUK link and you'll see that Wevoe would give you all the channels, apparently with excellent quality.

Is there currently (16:40) with the ogmore vale free view transmitter? I can't get any bbc or itv channels. I have also checked with a neighbour and they have confirmed the same. We both live in the nantymoel area.

Mr S Partridge: The transmitter engineering post which has appeared after you posted confirms that the transmitter has been off air since 13:26 this afternoon. Do not attempt to retune, your channels will return once the transmitter is back on air.
