Residents in some areas of Preseli Pembrokeshire are continuing to suffer from a loss of channels since the digital TV switchover last year.

Before the digital switchover, rural residents had access to a range of television channels. However, since the switchover took place last August, the number of channels has decreased to sixteen. This means some residents have lost popular channels such as Film 4 and ITV3.

Commenting on the continuing channelling problems as a result of the switchover, local resident and Assembly Member Paul Davies said:

"I am deeply disappointed that this issue continues to be a living reality for many people. The whole point of a digital television switchover is to improve our current services, not lose them.

It saddens me that there are still some people who don't feel part of this modernisation process and that some rural residents feel that they have been penalised.

After receiving representations from concerned constituents and Bob Kilmister, I will continue to monitor this situation and liaise with the relevant organisations to ensure that the residents concerned by this issue are being dealt with professionally and effectively."
