I agree that free-view is a good value. why pay hundreds of pounds a year on sky and cable while most channels on there are repeated for free on free-view.. I just wish more channels carry subtitles so I can enjoy it more.. get rid of those shopping channels... who really watches them?? I wish red button carry subtitles too.. I know its not possible due to very limited bandwidth

I lost ITV stations on oxford BBC is working fine 80% signal but ITV,Pick,dave,film4, i noticed the tv stations on channel 60 is affected while others are okish.... is it caused by 4G? i do use masthead and amp to gain signal as i live in poor reception area.
i live in RG8 8DB cant get Hannington as there is a hill at the back of my house, but oxford is clear line of sight its been working fine for 3 years until now. Please help many thanks

I noticed that sky sports 1 and 2 has ceased transmission via aerial looks like people have to be forced to buy sky tv or youview or internet tv to watch sky.....

thanks to Jb38.. Yes the old aerial has black ends i have seen red ends in the neighbour hood... i saw a few triax 52's and blake high gain aerials with red ends for Crystal palace. seems to be alot black ends pointing for oxford and hannington. I only asked as widebands are pretty poor at the lower end gains... so thats why i asked about getting group A. many thanks guys.. just got to decide triax or blake? which one eh? thank you

Hi Jb38 My area is very difficult area for tv reception as i live down the valley very close to river thames and behind my house there is a rail way line viaduct. I will go for Blake DMX10A... my old aerial is pretty rusted away thats why i want to change it.
Now a tip. if you suddenly get noisy pix elation picture... check your loft booster mine went today was red hot...... took it out put new one in got really good reception from Oxford.... Jb38... can i combine the two aerials together so i can get bbc south and london?
