Just shows how much I use freeview. Give me satellite any day, none of this re tune, re tune and yet again re tune.
Thanks for clearing that up, but why is channel 31 so poor compared to 23?

No I have nothing running anywhere near channel 31, signal quality has increased today but it is still very low.

Well just checked again and channel 31 is up to 96% quality, so what ever was wrong with it has gone away???

People have stated on here that they have no co channel interference and still cant get channel 31, Saying its there problem is a total cop out in my opinion.

Oh really, then why have I been watching Waltham both analogue and digital for years then? Apart from a glitch for 1 day during the last re tune I still get a digital signal of 92-98% quality. The predictors are about as much use as an ashtray on a motor bike.
My gripe is that some people that were getting digital are now expected to go without for the next 4 months or so.
No I don't expect them to switch back the frequency's but I do expect them not to swap them onto one that is already used by a neighbouring transmitter, that is just stupid.

Caravaner's do not need a TV licence to operate a set in their van as long as they have a current licence for there set at home. I should imagine its the same for boaters. I'm glad I use satellite in the van.

Yes you are quite correct, yet another rule that is woefully out of date. Fortunately our TV and SKY box are both 12v should anyone check.

So what has happened to channel 26? It has disappeared completely from all my free view receivers despite several full re tunes. Everything on the new channel 31 has a very low quality signal and is just about unwatchable.
