So whats the big surprise about all this, there are areas of Wales who will lose out,the power step up wont eleviate the situation where I live,as I have said before.

With Analogue TV North East Wales(3rd largest conabation of people in Wales), only 5% of this huge population can get Welsh TV from the transmitter at Moel Y Parc, when analogue is switched off it be less than 5%. This situation as gone on since the 60s, no one cares, no one is bothered.
75% can only get Winter Hill, 20% from the Wreken transmitters,5% from Moel Y Parc.
Hundreds yes hundreds have been conned into subs to Sky being told you can only get Welsh TV via sat on a sub, lies of course,and this untruth was still being pedled by the Sky Reps in Wrexham last week.Freesat from Sky,not a word about that, reps said we only sell subscriptions,everyone knows Sky is sub only, end of chat to these two with a corsa a one meter dish was revolving on its roof.

Where the hell is Freesat, not a word,not a bleat.

As for DTT in North East Wales,from a Welsh transmitter, well after over 40 years of no one cares, they wont care now.

What a shambles,
