Richard Cooper: I have tried what you said and it doesn't make any difference. As a last resort I reset my receiver to the factory settings and had to scan for all channels again. I still get the same problem. Freeview channel 8 sometimes shows ' Made in Cardiff ' with 'no signal detected' (I cannot receive a signal from Wenvoe) and the EPG shows the programmes for this channel. Other times it will change to Bay TV Swansea on the same channel with the signal coming from Kilvey Hill. This seems to be a problem with the transmission.

I have a digital TV card in my Linux computer and use Kaffeine software to watch TV. One of the few channels not picked up when I scan, is BBC Four from the Kilvey hill transmitter. It finds 98 channels. This is the Kilvey Hill section from the config file. Can I edit this to pick up remaining channels ?

Thank you. Could someone tell me what is the significance of the 2/3 or 3/4 as I had some of these different in my config file and they seem to work OK

I live in Swansea just a couple of miles from the Kilvey hill transmitter. I have retuned my receiver but sometimes on channel 8 freeview I get the 'Made in Cardiff' channel with no signal detected and other times I get Swansea Bay TV. I have tried updating and reinstalling channel lists.
