TV transmitter finder   
Hi

I'm off on holidays to West Wales tomorrow and remember seeing a
website that give the compass direction and  signal strength of the tv
transmitters in the area. Has anyone got that website address?

TIA
Steve

There are a number, but probably the most appropriate is www.wolfbane.co.uk, 
where you can check the info you want for both digital and analogue 
transmissions (given you have either a postcode or an OS grid reference)

Question: are you planning in staying somewhere out in the wilds on your 
own away from civilisation? If not then just look at the TV aerials on 
buildings around you and use them as a guide. Simple really. If you are 
using a Status 'flying frying pan' then (theoretically) you don't even 
need to know direction or polarity.

If you know where you are going then look at Mike Brown's excellent site 
www.mb21.co.uk where you will find transmitter site and channel 
allocation information for anywhere in the UK.

I got around it the easy way - use satellite. That's always in the same 
direction!
