I live in Wales in a "Freeview Light" area.

I now have ITV1+1 on my freeview service but I am wondering what I have lost in it's place, or were they able to squeeze another channel in?

I find +1 channels are usefull, but where you have "Freeview Light" I would rather have more channels than +1 channels.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for that, explains why I could not remember what I had lost.

I understand why they have the +1 logo, but it need not be so big.

I just would rather have more channels than hour on repeats, 2 channels wasted.

I'm with you all the way on the red button thing too, why not just have a seperate channel.

Yet again we see the Ofcom answer as being related to set top boxes. They are an add on, a fudge and far from ideal. What about people who want tv's with intergrated FV receivers to reduce the clutter and number of remotes. I fine the quality of set tops to be poor compared with FV recorders and intergrateds.
How much extra CO2 is emitted by all the additional set top boxes across the UK?
I appreciate all the arguments about 4g revenues etc. and the small number of people affceted. This is all fine unless you are one of those affected. No doubt we will see a hoo-har at the time but some poor sod who moves house near one of these 4g base stations a few years down the line may well end up spending a fortune on new equipment, aerial installers etc. before someone says "oh it's 4G mate" with little or no chance of compensation. Persoanlly I would prefer in more investment in mobile phones was dedicated to ensure I can make uninterrupted calls on my moble on my drive home, walk before run!
