I never heard of any in Mid or North Wales when I was working for them.

I have lived in Wrexham for most of my life and there definately has not been a Rediffusion system anywhere near here.
However I read on another forum some time ago that there was a re-broadcast system in place in either Blaenau Ffestiniog or Betwys-y-Coed... I'm not sure which. That was available until fairly recently, I don't know whether its still going.
There is also Wright's Radio Relay which operates in Newtown, Powys (Mid Wales)... that was born out of a rebroadcasting network and now provides a slightly upgraded version of the Freeview line-up. According to their website (which is actually down at the moment), viewers are able to use Freeview boxes/STBs with an additional converter box, which changes the signal between DVB-C to DVB-T... but interestingly it also provides True Movies, Movies4Men, etc... I presume that's an additional multiplex.
