bangit   10 #1 Posted August 12, 2009 Hi, been having trouble with my freeview channels today, all of a sudden chan 5 is no available and many others have bad signals. Been fine for over a month perfect picture last night on chan 5, no signs of bother. Anyone else in the area had the same issues?  It is definately not a technical problem on my part. retuning does nothing.  cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jason Bourne   11 #4 Posted August 12, 2009 It's a gorgeous afternoon out there.  Get your arse down to the Peace Gardens, instead of watching 5 / Channel 5 / C5 / fiver or whatever they brand it as these days.  x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

quisquose   10 #8 Posted August 12, 2009 I live in S11 and all I can add is that you're lucky to get any Freeview channels.  We can get b***er all here, the terrestrial is rubbish as well with no chance of C5 and ghosty ITV. Virgin don't have to try too hard to sell their product around here.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
katkin   10 #9 Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I live in S11 near Endcliffe Park and cannot get 5 very clearly all the time. I never get Dave, Dave ja vu or Sky Sports News though!  no probs with these or any others at hunters bar on freeview or top up tv downstairs (and we havent got an outdoor ariel) but sometimes lose channels upstairs. We just retune every so often and things get back to normal after a while (and we never used to get Channel 5 before we had top up tv but its great now for some reason) we went topuptv cos they didnt put cable up our road and sky is too pricey Edited August 12, 2009 by katkin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Virgin don't have to try too hard to sell their product around here.   Have to agree with you no reception at all. Tried various freeview boxes and booster ariels. Last winter only way to get anything was by opening livingroom windows wide open-heating full blast and shivering-cannot get cables on this bit so watch everything through computer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
