Freeview, What a Mess (IMO).
I think Freeview UK is a right mess now, looking at the channel lineup, there is so much teleshopping and adult filth, it shouldnt IMO be allowed, the transmittion companies are trying to squeeze every bite out of the bandwidth so what IMO is happening is that the quality of the Freeview transmittion is ending up just like what it was back in the ITV/On Digital day, I'm still missing the BBC Multiplex, so can't watch BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three & BBC News yet I still have to pay my TV Licence Fee even though I'm not getting the BBC Siginal :td:, I think the broadcasters should go over to Freesat instead, it would be cheaper for them (I'm refering to the likes of Quest and Yesterday and Dave).

Re: Freeview, What a Mess (IMO).
The whole point of freeview is that people can receive using relatively cheap equipment, even if they cannot get Satellite or Cable. By moving to Freesat, the channels will be cutting off a *lot* of potential viewers, and a lot of their own income.
I agree about too many teleshopping channels (many of which are, IMO, a scam anyway), but can't find any adult channels on Freeview. so am not sure which channels are you referring to when you say "adult filth". |

Fair enough. It's just they aren't listed on Digiguide, or the Freeview website.

Why can't you get the BBC multiplex?

You could try a manual re-tune. It might also help to reset the box to factory settings and to remove all existing channels first (from memory, you can do the latter by removing all channels and tune it without the aerial connected).
Also: take a look here: http://www.tvretune.co.uk/troubleshooting/ for a (manual) re-tune guide (There's a downloadable PDF). |
Re: Freeview, What a Mess (IMO).
These adult channels are leasing bandwidth on DTT but are not strictly part of freeview, just as channels can lease bandwidth on the Astra satellite but not be part of freesat/sky. In fact, these channels are paying more than their satellite counterparts to be on DTT.
Why? DTT is presently received in 18+ Million homes, compared to satellite that gets to 11 Million at present. TV companies that can afford to will always go for the biggest potential audiance, regardless of the technology used, and at the moment that is DTT. The reception problem you have is more likely aerial related than equipment related. Might be an idea to get the aerial system checked. |
Re: Freeview, What a Mess (IMO).
I thought the "adult filth" was only available if you paid extra with a viewing card or whatever it is.
A quick looky here shows the BBC channels on max output as compared to all the others on medium. Maybe it's got something to do with your aerial or the way you push a signal around the house. |
