Simon: This box has automatically addressed you, so I don't know if that is correct. From new, our Sony 1TB PVR has had to be manually tuned to Emley Moor, Yorkshire, as it prefers to look over the Pennines and 100 miles further to Carlisle, to pick up the weak signal from NW TV. The list of MUXs I had appears to have been superceded and I can't find a new list. Can anyone help please? The list I was using is: 41, 44, 47, 48, 51,52. but even this won't overide the NW tendency. The Sony TV doesn't appear to suffer the same problem.
The store has since closed down but denied any problem from new.A with all problems, we are the only people in the known universe to have experienced this.
Help please, Jack

Only just found this response, David Lindsay: thank you very much, this is the information I was seeking.
The 'Region setting' was not enough to overide the NW selection but I'd forgotten the 'remove aerial for the first lot of channels', as advised by the last aerial man.
I have printed off your information and will store it in 'safe place'.
Thanks again; Jack

Just how free is UK television?

Receiving notice of the government's rejection of the petition to scrap the licence fee, today, I still object to the profligacy and Left wing political stance of the BBC. I rarely watch the main BBC channels and especially avoid their news but I do enjoy many programmes on BBC4. The rest of our viewing is Freeview: we do not have satellite or cable.

Having difficulty finding Channel MUX for new Paramount on 57. Our Sony DVR has to be manually retuned for every change, as it prefers distant Cumbria to our local Emley Moor transmitter.
can anyone help, please?

Diana Brown: We don't watch HD because of appalling lip sync, outside the adjustments range available on our Sony KDL. I haven't looked for a long time because the standard picture is quite enough for us.

Freeview 2024?

NJ: I think you are spot on with your observations but I don't think the timescale will be as quick as they hope. The crass statement about 'most homes having sufficient internet speed,' shows how metro-centric [London?]and misinformed, the author. Certainly sinister moves are afoot to profit from the airwaves that rightly belong to the public.
