Thanks Michael - I know I have hundreds, if not thousands, of cookies. But if I delete all, as I do from time to time, I then have to re-enter stuff to sites I care about, and I am idle.
I suspect that if I stop the selected adverts I will simply get unselected ones. At the moment I seem to be getting repeats of young ladies in underwear - OH bought some from them - which is not offensive to my eyes!

Steve - sounds like your Ae is getting two different signals at similar weak levels, making it a toss-up which the tuners pick. That could change with time, or with the detailed sensitivity of each tuner.
As there seems to be suggestion of local problems suggest trying retuning once others are not having troubles.
A well pointed rooftop Ae would probably solve your problem.

Maplin may well be correct, but we can get a usable signal in one room (which has a big window in the right place) with an indoor ae and a cheap amp. - which none of the predictors say we would be able to.
Also, has your region switched over yet. Digital strength will rise when analogues goes off.

er, yes; but I must admit I like them, as it is handy when you turn on part way through a programme to be able to see it from the beginning!

Gordon - your new box will not "override" the built in tuner. Rather you will tell your TV not to display from the built in tuner, but from whatever input you use to connect to the new tuner.
Think of your TV as two things in one box. A tuner and a display. Some TVs have several tuners built in. Yours may well have an analogue tuner as well as Freeview, for example, and some have satellite built in.

Derek Brice - There is a different satellite channel for each variety of BBC1.
Whereas with restricted number of channels on Freeview you are stuck with those local to you.

Briantist - I often find when returning to one of your pages that there is a box suggesting it had trouble updating - sometimes several times. Is once a minute needed?

Hi Brian
Just found it on returning to this page.
Standard MS dialogue box
Heading
Message from webpage
Text
There was a problem with the request
Single box to click
OK
Not a great problem - but makes me tend not to leave the page open. I presume it just means that one of the 1440 daily automatic updates failed, perhaps due to network issues?
Oh, and the tab goes yellow.

Brian - So does that mean that the box comes from you, not from the OS/Browser?
I can't beleive I am the only one who gets it?

Off topic for this thread, but whenever I come to this (and some other) website I get an advert for secretsales.com, which is a shopping site my OH uses, plugging thinks she has viewed.
I don't gtreatly mind, but I wonder how they do this. Does Brian or anyone know?
And, Brian, do you get paid something if I click there whenever I leave the site?
