More channels available on freeview ??!!

[Michael172]

Basically ive got a new telly, got it for free, a flat screen 32". Got freeview built in, but theres a problem, it doesnt have channel 5 even, no DAVE ffs and skips from ch14 to ch28 lol....basically there are very limited channels.

now weve got another tv in the house with a freeview box, that has loads of channels, but why dont i have the same channels ???????

Mine's recently started flickering.... Pissing me off and i lost loads of channels...

Signal booster for both of us??

Maybe one isn't powerful enough to receive a strong signal??

My samsung lcd in the bedroom gets loads of channels but my seperate receiver struggles to get 1 to 4.

 

[Michael172]

yeah all my channels are flickering like buggery today too, it runs off a wire.

 

[Michael172]

updated it. Still no dave but habe got a few more channels.

freeview is poo. Had new aerials put up and it's still poo. Freesat with olympics on bbc hd FTW! And i'm pickin up sky sports for free at the minute!

^^ freesat looks good, looked at this yesterday.

problem is you need a dish, and on a 200 year old cottage they still look shite lol!!

 

[john.med]

Point taken. Dishes do look godawful full stop.

Do you have a skylight by any chance? I'm guessing not, but if it's in the right position I've heard you can use a dish thru it.

 

[Pettsi]

It'll probably be the dodgey weather!

Depends which antenna you point at. Are you using the same aerial as before as if you are that aerial maybe pointing to a different one? It happens loads down here because 1 mast has channel 5 and one doesnt

No problem in my hose.Got a firm to fit a new up-rated aerial & it's fine.

apparantly there was an update pushed out recently which has bricked a lot of boxes causing them to loose channels.

 

[SC03OTT]

that only effected early digital equpiment though did it not. if the tv is new, it should not have been effected.

 

[KDF]

Yes, just the early ones.
