Hi. I'm having difficulty with my Freeview TV. There are aerial sockets on the wall in the lounge and bedroom connected to a communal aerial (I live in a block of apartments). The TV find all the channels in the lounge, but when I try it in the bedroom it only finds 6 channels (all the BBC ones: BBC 1, BBC 2, BBC 3, BBC news, CBBC etc.) Those channels are crystal clear quality. The socket on the wall in the bedroom is a female connection, whereas the one in the lounge is a male connection... should this make a difference?

Hi I live in Redditch and your map show that the transmitter is Sutton coalfield, I this you need to know that DAS who fitted the communal dish and Ariel are using Lark Stoke so the switch over will be earlier not later as you predict. thank you best ragards Spencer

Sandra - Yes provided you are out of the initial 12 months contract with SKY. Cost depends on the receiver you select - They are available from Argos, Comet, Curry's John Lewis PC World Independent Radio & TV dealers and On Line. They come in the following varieties and by different manufacturers.EG;-SD (standard definition) - HD (High definition) with single and twin tuner recordable versions. Priced from from £29.99 upwards dependent on choice. In most cases it's a straight swop over with you SKY box. But you may need a minor upgrade to the dish and wiring if you were to choose a recordable capable receiver where your dish isn't currently set up for that purpose.

for Neil - I have the same system as you in my flat and found out that what I needed was a Y shaped splitter in the socket which had an "in and out" which in my case was in the lounge, then a loop of aerial wire from the splitter to the other socket then the aerial outlet in the bedroom was receiving the same as the lounge. If I am not explaining this well then I'll try again - or perhaps someone else will add to it? good luck. I have had such a lot of help from this site it's great to be able to give even a little bit back.
