457794 2006-05-26 03:56:00 Typically Prime have lower powered transmitters compared to TV1,2 and 3 .
This usually requires having the right antenna or little can be seen .

In our holiday cottage, we get perfect TV1, 2 and 3, yet even with the right antenna Prime varies from unwatchable to barely watchable depending on the weather .

Even though its basically line-of-sight across the bay, the power level is just too low .

The extra bits on your aerial are well worth the small costs.

457796 2006-05-26 04:20:00 actuall power ouput i belive is not that different from VHF channels on the main transmitters but secondary tranmiters its a different ball game. power is often reduce to combat co channel interference.
biggerst problem with UHF is range and lack of line of sight ie it dosn't bend well to get into valleys etc.

to check of you can get it ring a local aerial installer. they will know the aera and what it likly to cost to get.
