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

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! -- Woody harrogate three at ntlworld dot com
