all the channels on my t.v went down when i switched on. I actually had channel five transmitting tho after a few flicks of the remote. Shame that there was only sport on.....

Me and my partner were both awake at 2am for some reason, and we couldn't figure out what it was! We thought the cat had got into the connections in the back of the tv, as he was walking around looking shifty. We only had itv too. The burning question is..... why only itv? If itv's strong enough to come through regardless of them operating on the aerials, then what are they pumping through our tv sets? We could be getting all sorts of itv radiation poisoning!! Just a thought!! ;)

I was watching the boxing on BBC1 at the time. The fight between Froch and that Canadian bloke was just reaching a climax, then the screen went blank...... typical!

BBC1 and 2 were still active on digital though. But by the time i'd discovered that the fight had fininished. Does anyone know how it ended?

Cheers,

Pete

They can turn ours off forever for me.
Theres never anything on it.

We seem to use our T.V. as some thing to put the letter rack on and a usefull dust catcher.

Froch won on a stoppage in the 11th.
