CNN International Europe

Evelin Natalia:

CNN News is a US broadcast and uses US English which has significant difference to UK English. You would do better to watch a UK broadcaster rather than a US based one. Can I suggest either BBC or ITV.

Just a little point of semantics, your post should read "Should have read" as the colloquial short form of 'Should've' actually means 'shoukld have' and not 'should of'. Sorry to be pedantic but proper use of UK English is important.

I concur with that stated by StevensOnln1. There is no way you are going to get COM7 at your location. Best to wait until Ofcom and the broadcasters finally agree on what to do with channel allocation to make room for 5G. Remember that it is highly likely that all programmes will use the DVB-T2 format even though some will likely remain as SD services and not go to HD - but a full HD TV will be required.

At last! All we ever wanted was knowledge of the source of your information. Without that it is considered as pure speculation and untrustworthy. In scientific/technical circles it is usual to state the source of any information given.

Joseph Tonner:

The TV Licence Fee is just that, a fee to permit you to watch TV services no matter what or who the originators are. If you watch any form of TV service, either direct broadcast or via the internet you must have a valid licence for that address. Even if you watch catch-up services via the web either on a 'smart' TV or a computer/mobile phone/tablet/etc you must still have a valid licence. The money collected goes into Government 'coffers' and some is dished out to the BBC. What the Government do with the rest they do not say.

Consider the situation if you travel by train. You buy a ticket from the service operator that allows you to travel from one named railway station to another named railway station. The tracks that train travels on are not owned by the train service operator but by Network Rail. They are paid by the service operator for that provision, using some of the money you paid for your ticket. You know it is illegal to travel on a train without a valid ticket for that journey. Likewise, it is illegal to watch any TV service in the UK without a valid licence.

Only now that your have revealed your source can we consider whether anything you have said has any validity or substance. Without the source being stated we cannot accept as true anything purporting to any future changes. Please do not misrepresent my position. All I needed was knowledge, and hence access, to you source.

You must understand that technical and scientific people do not work on assumptions but need 'chapter and verse'. As you did not give any indictaion until yesterday what the source of your information was we could not give it any credence until it had been proven correct, or otherwise. In other words we needed proof.

Please check the signal strengths being reported by your TV set. In Newark you may have too strong a signal. Yopu should aim to have a strength between 50% and 85% and no higher. If you have too much signal, then you need to reduce it by using an attenuator inserted in the aerial feed to the TV equipment.
