Just a thought....
It would be really handy if each (Freeview, Sky, Freesat) column could list the channel numbers in numerical order

why do you keep repeating programs over and over again instead of putting new ones on

mick: They do put new ones on, but no broadcaster on Earth can afford to just show new programming (or at least programmes you'd actually want to watch) - there are more hours in the day than there is original content.
Of course you could subscribe to Gold, and pay to watch repeats....

My chosen transmitter is Sandy Heath but about 100 yards away from me are some tall trees maybe 60 to 100 feet high..
I'm currently experiencing pixulation on several channels, Would it pay me to slightly raise the front -tip of my Roof-mounted aerial, and if so what would be the maximum angle above horizontal to go?

Hi I love to watch Pick TV but find your adverts between very loud and intrusive. So much so that I always mute the sound during them and do not watch at all. I am sure many others do the same and this doesn't do your advertisers any good!
Any chance of reducing the sound of adverts to a normal level?
Regards
Val

Val King: I would suggest there are two reasons for "adverts being louder than the programmes" on Pick TV.
Firstly, the adverts are not actually louder: they are just part of what is called "The Volume Wars". By using special software (called "auto compression"), the sound is made to sound louder, even though when measured, it isn't.
The adverts are delivered to Sky (who run Pick TV) by the advertisers in this form. They are paying for the channel, so they get make this choice.
Secondly, most of the content on Pick TV is of US origin. Most programmes are mixed for "5.1 sound" and then converted to what is called "Dolby Digital": a system that sounds OK on both stereo and 5.1 systems.
The upshot of this is that listening to it with stereo speakers will sound slightly quieter for the programmes than the adverts.
If Sky's clients (the advertisers) thought they would make more money by making the adverts quieter, they would be quieter.
Personally, I'm almost shocked that you don't use Freeview+/YouView to record Pick TV and skip the adverts altogether!

Arthur: Sorry that your comment here was missed.
If you are going to modify your aerial to deal with trees, the most sensible option is to use a longer pole.
