David: Freesat tends to get uses where the DTT signal is the public-service only, or in buildings that can't get a good Freeview signal.
The official figures that I used didn't break down the Freesat and/or Freeview numbers as I recall.

Ellis Cashmore: Usually, but not always, if something happens at a given time then look for something on a timer.
In the past we have seen things such as lights or heating systems that come on. Even street lights can cause this kind of problem.

Solent-Viewer: Just to make it clear: you are required to pay the Licence if you can watch any live TV. The law makes no exceptions.
Reception is down to you as a viewer. If you can't get a commercial multiplex properly, then your duty is to pay the TV LIcence and pay an engineer to visit your home.

Ian: To be fair to Ofcom, they are required by law to make the best possible use of radio frequencies.
Ofcom didn't suggest this, the request has been pushed by the mobile phone companies. As I recall. it was Vodafone who requested the reallocation of all TV to them a few years ago.
Ofcom is self-funded from the industry, they don't "get" anything for publishing investigative reports.

Patricia: I'm really not sure what you mean. I'm not sure how much more "prominently" you want them?
Sorry if I'm missing what you mean.

K Husband: The transmitter went off again at 18:57 today.
Do not retune your set or set-top box.
You can watch online whilst the engineers deal with the fault

MJ Ray: Let's take your argument and run with it.
In my last flat in Brighton, the local utility company sent me a bill every quarter for gas. But there was no gas in the building, and the meter registered no use.
But, because I wasn't able to show the meter reader the gas meter, I got no end of abusive letters, complaining phone calls and - eventually - bewildered visits from engineers.
Only moving to London stopped the letters.
So, taking this into the your "Capita" argument. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE GAS.
