Check this out. I have since doing the re-install if the channels found film4 is now on C811 but it doesn't play, just a black screen, itv4 and yesterday are also up in that range. Not looking good for the Gov as it's them who have forced this upon us, just like promising diesel was the way forward as more mpg and less emissions then they make diesel the most expense you can buy. They have lie to us yet again into their way and then things change once it's all too late.

Thank you for the info on the sandy transmitter. I did notice a blocked sky sports now showing. It annoys me that we jaw to suffer and lose something because BT have decided to offer something to their paying customers at the expense if others. It is one again people getting shafted at the expense of others in the name of money. I am not a skin fling as I pay for full sky and HD downstairs and it's only upstairs j use freeveiw but it's giving the misses more weight to her ear bending of giving sky even more money to har multiroom which I am trying not to do, and if we all go sky and virgin and Bt there will be no need for any freeveiw but maybe that's the way they would like it to go.
I too loved film4 in bed at night, wish they had lost some of the others instead, really many thanks for the info though. It does help alot. And ifwe have lost things now for another 6months I will find it hard to stop her bending me into multiroom at an extra £10 amonth and also removing another freeview customer from the network making less important.
What if I were an elderly person, or a family trying to live on the smallest of incomes and film4 was something that brought a light relief to a sad poor empty life. NOT ONE bit of information has come out anywhere here saying we were going to lose things. Do you have the details of who to contact about this as I would love the chance to tell someone just what that have done and how their lack of care has affected people
Do you get the feeling I am sick and fed up of people being treated like idiots, we are always forced into a no choice option and then right after the no going back point things are changed on us but by that time THERES NO GOING BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!
As said before though thank you as you are the first bit of information that any of us have been given and as a project manager the first act is stakeholder buy in, we as customers are all stakeholders with an interest in it and the lack of com's is disgusting

Right, who do I complain to and how about the disgusting signal from sandy. I have cleared out and done first time install many times now. We have lost loads of channels. Film4 has never come back, pick and pick+1 which I like for road wars and such like tunes inbut says zero signal. Bbc4 is unwatchable, many of the other channels are poor quality and blocks of picture. It is such a bad service it's amazing whoever looks after the sandy transmitter is allowed to keep running it.
But thanks to the government is there anything we can do about it........... NOT A CHANCE cos they sold off the anolog signals so we are stuck with this poor quality service, someone must be accountable for this and I would love to know who.
Still there has been ZERO communication from them saying sorry for the current quality and yet theday they turned off the old signal they promised on the look east news that the signal was going to be boosted many times over as it was now the only choice.
Ease can anyone help me so I can complain about this service. All I need is a name and number and trust me they will know I have called. My family has even said contacting the local look east news to raise the issue would be a good idea
Thanks

Tony I am on sandy too. The service has become very por quality and a few times the guy on this site has told me to just do a first tome install again to over
Right all the channels, I have done over 10 times and still lost a lot of stuff as well as very poor quality on the ones we do get. I am going to google who responsable for it as I have asked a few times on here and not getting any answers anymore, not even a "sorry but I don't know" answer. My mother did say it might be something our local look east news might like to hear about as it's very poor customer service. Your not alone, they have shafted all of us in the whole area

I live in a brand new house with brand new cables all lest than 3 years old. I am the first person to own the house and the set up worked perfectly until all of a sudden and around the same time as everyone had troubles, it's nothing to do with the cables, it's a flat screen tv with built in thats less than a year old. Set up isn't the trouble here. It's the signal coming to us thats at fault, we can't all have bad cables and poor quality cheap set top boxes !!!!!!

Thank you sandy Heath, we now have NO dave or dave ja vue, pick and pick+1, lost film4 the other month, so what we are left with is pretty much the same as the old set up but we have all had to pay to upgrade our viewing equipment, slowly we are losing more and more channels because as I have been told the people who own sandy Heath are removing the freeview channels till near the end of the year to make room for the paying sky sports and such like so we clearly mean nothing as it's all about the money even through we have been forced into this new way.
Don't you just love it, and before someone tells me to try retuning or get an engineer round, I lose more everytime I do retune and that by it's nature proves it's not the cables or the recieving equipment.
I am going to google and track down who runs sandy Heath now and let loose because the constant lack of comms is now beyond a joke and someone is going to know about it this week

It just gets better with the sandy heath trans, today after a new re-scan ALL I have let are BBC1 bbc2 bbc3 2 kids channels, BBC news and some radio stations. There is now actually LESS than the old signal. And told by this site it won't get any better until sept. WONDERFUL, well done sandy Heath,

Ok I have just checked with a couple of neighbours and they say the same thing. Lost 80% of channels and the ones we do get are no of such poor quality that they are unwatchable which shows it's NOT my system and Defo the sandy Heath trans meaning they are giving such a poor service its now a joke and if your a family who can't afford sky you can't even get what you had before on analog anymore. Someone MUST be accountable for this as it's disgusting

I too have lost things like film4 as well as many others. All very very good string signals in the Milton Keynes area and mosur seems just after try go digital live and forcing you into no choice, you lose channels you have watched for ages. Seems like a big con is going on
