Tony Vermot: What is PBS on 560? That sounds like Virgin, which you have no need to tune for.

Penny: don't appear to have an online player. If you provide a full postcode we can see whether it is available to you via . If your TV was purchased in the last few years it will almost certainly have a Freeview tuner built in, although if you do need to buy a set top box make sure you get one that supports , as a non-HD box won't be able to receive all the available and will likely be obsolete in a few years anyway.

Charis: You don't need to do anything, your box will continue receiving all the free to air (FTA) when your ends. Leave the viewing in place you will continue to see your existing BBC// on 101-104 and you will continue to receive a few extra free to view (FTV) channels (such as Sony Movie Channel and ).
