Strictly speaking in terms of "relays", no relay provides all multiplexes.

All relays only provide three multiplexes with the exception of Ferrybridge
which provides four.


That's not strictly true.

Yes it is.

There are quite a few relays that provide the full experience.

No there are not.

Ilchester Crescent and Kings Weston Hill in Bristol are
two I can think of for a start.

But those are not *relays*. They are line fed from Mendip.

Try reading the rest of the posting which you snipped --

Some sites which were analogue relays are no longer relays in the strict
sense, and are termed "daughter sites" and these provide all Freeview
multiplexes. These sites transmitted digital television before analog
switch off and began with On Digital.

On the plus side, at least when they riot they generally only smash up their
own slums. Probably too dumb to read a map to find their way out.

Probably no worse than throwing away a perfectly good aerial in favour of
a
nice new "digital" one with 0.5dB of extra gain over the old one.

Bloody hell.
I'm right behind the police station.
Do you think I should take my dish down just in case they kick the door in
and charge me with being in possesion of offensive tattoos?
Oh, and which mobile phone is best for organising criminal activity?

They're relays. Be told. Where they take their "feed" from is irrelevant.

If you prefer another region (I did), search for a town or village in that
region, find a business there that has its address on its site and use that
postcode. My postcode gives me Anglia (West) and I prefer Oxford; don't,
however, waste time trying to get an ITV region - they're so big as to be
meaningless.

No. Many remote areas don't get the full range of Freeview channels, and
before the changeover to digital, could only receive 5 channels.

For quite a number, actually only four. There were large areas of
the British Isles were Channel 5 analog was never available, particularly
in the South region.

They didn't miss much!

A lot of those dishes are for the foreign channels the immigrants like.

Ah yes, the ones who come to britain because they haven't got 2 pennies to
rub together in their own country but mysteriously find enough cash to
pay for satellite TV and a widescreen TV once here. Amazing isn't it?

They are just the basics of life. We can all do without food so long
as 100 channels are available:)
