The freeview signal strength appears to to somewhere between weak and legless today. Channels are breaking up to the point that they are becoming unwatchable.
So this gives rise to a couple of questions
1 What is the problem with the signal?
2 When will this relay station be upgraded to allow more channels. At this time we have around 25 channels while the full freeview service has up 70 available channels in other parts of the country.
I would appreciate comments on these questions
Regards
James
