I think shutting Freeview is like shutting FM Radio. A madness which will eventually be dropped.
Incidentally does anyone else think
<< If you are rude or disrespectful all of your posts will be deleted and you will be banned. >> IN BOLD
is an unnecessarily aggressive caution? Not exactly polite or respectful itself?

You do not mention an opt out for non TV users. There IS such provision in France,

And: If you are already successfully using a Freeview box or TV a new one should work fine. If not can you borrow one to try out?

Mike B - Please talk me through your old set new set size change.
I thought TVs were still measured by the diagonal of the screen?
Unless you are talking about the change from 4:3 to 16:9 format, where for any given number the wide format is
9% wider but
18% less high making
11% less screen area

salma: Chop them down.
You may find it improves in autumn.
Is it a new dish or anew problem?

Hi Marie. Surprised I am the first to respond!
Mostly your TV is working because it is producing a legible blue screen. You do not mention any boxes so I assume it's an ordinary freeview TV with a roof aerial.
Is the TV set to show freeview or has it perhaps got back to old analogue somehow? Otherwise, unless the internal freeview tuner is bust there is probably no signal; either aerial bust/moved in winds (very strong yesterday?) or cabling faulty.
Have you looked at the aerial? Jiggled connections?
Next step is to plug a different TV in your aerial or your TV in another aerial.

Helen this website is nothing to do with the transmitting people; it just gives information.
One of the peculiarities of digital signalling is that if the strength is too strong it will stop working.
So if the strength where you are increased it is quite possible that it was too strong amplified and Goldilocks unamplified.

Mike B if the relatively few cannot get it on FM or digital then they should be served.
