Are there any problems with Pick TV from the Winter Hill Xmtr which should be on UHF 61 according to the listing. I can only receive it from UHF Channel 52 from Moel - Parc Xmtr. All other channels are OK. I have done a complete reset and setup with no avail. This is effecting three tvs and two recorders. Fault first appeared three weeks ago. Have done a manual scan of channel 61 and Pick is missing.

Are there any plans to increase the power of channels 31, 37 from the low 14kw? Parts of the Wirral can only receive Winter Hill and the Storeton relay only beams the Welsh in my direction. Can receive channel 31 from TV direct as there must be a booster in the Panasonic recorder, . The recorder gets no signal from Channel 31 or 37 so am unable to record programmes on these channels.

TVs affected by poor signal are 2 x Panasonic and one x Sony 4k (All under 2 years old) The aerials are band "C" and not wideband. Postcode is CH63 1JF 2 aerials are 13 element and one is 18 element. Suspect wideband aerials would cure the problem!

Poor clarity on the sound on all channels from Winter Hill. This is in particular to speech where the sound sounds muffled. Have a number of sets, Sony, Panasonic LG and same problem on all. Sound on Moel-y-parc is fine. This has only happened since the channel shift earlier in the year. I know of other people on the Wirral experiencing the same problem

Problems with clarity of speech being muffled on all channels on Winter Hill xmtr. Being experienced on a number of different sets - Sony, Panasonic and LG
I know of other people on the Wirral experiencing this problem which has only occurred since the channel frequency changes earlier this year. Moel-y-parc does not suffer this problem.
