dms05: Although the indications for both muxes may appear to be the same it really depends on what's actually seen as they might be hovering around the cut off threshold for your TV or boxes tuner, although its the signal "quality" that is by far the more important of the two indications seen and should always be higher than the strength, albeit that some devices only give a combined indication.

The only way of accurately judging things is to go into your TV or boxes tuning menu / manual tune and enter Ch48 into the box but NOT followed by pressing search or scan, because the signal level should appear after entering 48, note what it is then change Ch48 for 52 once again noting the indications seen and giving an update on results.

By the way what you have mentioned indicates that you are receiving from the Moel-Y-Parc transmitter,

jb38 - you are quite right about 'Quality'. All the Mx's indicated Excellent/Very Good signal strength and quality except Ch48 which shows zero quality. I eventually tracked the problem and it was a cable connection - after remaking this Ch48 returned. Quite why all the other Mx's worked perfectly but Ch48 didn't is odd but I now have excellent/VG on all Mx's. Yes I do receive from MyP even though I'm close to a relay at West Kirby (1km) because the MyP reception is (a) better (b) has the HD and various other channels not on the relay. The draw back of course is I receive BBC Wales News from Cardiff but live on the Wirral!

dms05: Well if you want to pick up West Kirby, you should check UHF channels 27, 24 and 21 to see what their signal is like, and use those instead of MyP for your PSB channels.

dms: Or can you receive the full service, including North West programming, from Storeton?

All transmitters carry HD; it is the Commercial services that aren't available from all.
