Mike when you go to your mothers can you get the box to record. I ask this as i go to lots of older peoples homes and set up there digital recorder boxs and within a day i have to go back because they dont understand how to use the box. If you carnt get the box to record take it back if you got it from argos try the sagemcom one i am not a great lover of humax epg thats why i think the sagemcom might be best for your mum hope this helps

Hi pmullins i had this problem with the local planning department and a problem neighbour. The set size for a tv aerial is normaly 95 cm not 60 you could apply for planing permition. Being in a conservation area could work in your favour if you could make it seam as you are replacing like for like you dont have to pay for the planing. They will take a look at the aerial and if it has been hiden as best as your aerial rigger could do you should be ok they dont normaly care what your neighbour thinks hope everything is ok. By the way why didnt your rigger put a masthead amp on your main aerial and run extra coax to your extention this could have saved you any problem.

No ian you started doing aerials to make more money. If you have just started doing the aerials yourself you will be making a mess yourself ie wall brackets on the chimney or very poor lashings with the j bolts fully tightend up that go slack very quickley. If you had a poor experiance with an rigger why did you use him again or did you have a bad experance with one and tar all of us with the same brush. Stop giving yiur customers a poor job and find a good rigger who does a proper job. By the way did the rigger charge for fitting the tv i know i dont if i am called out to do an aerial but if they want it fitting to a wall there would be an extra charge. Also conecting the equipment up is fine but it can take longer than the jobitself to show people how there new equipment works. So ian dont be the cowboy get somebody who is trained to do the job and is insured to do the job because uf you are a spark or a tv shop you your public insurance wont cover you to go on a roof and do aerial work .

Nicky if your aerial is under 12 months old call the aerial rigger who fitted it and ask him to call back to check it out. If it is still under 12 months old there shouldn't be a charge that being said if the problem is with your tv there will be a call out charge ie the tuning picking up wrong channels from the wrong transmitter

Ian 6 months down the line when you are doing your main job your old job calls you back with a small problem with trees causing problems do you take half a day off and sort out the problem or do you file the call in the bin and never go back. Then a proper rigger has to go back a correct your problem. Being a good rigger doesnt mean getting it right straight away there can allways be problems a good rigger goes back when there is a problem and makes sure that every thing is right. Ian does your public insurance cover you for roof work i would check if i was you if it doesnt and you cause a problem iy could cost you a lot of money.

Paul you might have a problem with your aerial if the cable is faulty this could cause the problem . If you have another freeview box try that if that is the same it could be your aerial
