Morning All,
I have a bit of a problem where I do not know if it is solvable or not
Basically, moved into my new Apartment Last week, and hooked up my LCD with built in Freeview. Connected Aerial and Installed freeview.
Now, It only gave me about between 10-15 channels, so I re-installed a couple of times and same Channels.
I noticed that I had not got any ITV channels or any E4 or Film 4 etc, channels which I have had in most areas I have lived in derby.
I thought maybe its the freeview box in my LCD, so tried my Girlfriends in a different room that had differnt Aerial point and same thing, exact same channels
So, I checked the Signal and it said Bit Error Level 8 and Signal was weak, however I have had this before where its a weak signal and still displays the channels.
So, I was gonna get a Signal Booster as existing channels I did have kept freezing aswell.
But, then I was surfing the net for packages on Satelite, and came across Virgin Non Cable, on checking what they had, they had a Free Virgin TV which looked just like Freeview Service.
However, they had an option to enter my Postcode and House Number and would tell me what I can get, did this and said my area is due to switch to digital in 2011, and the liost below told me the channels I could get now which was BBC one,teo, three etc and ones I would get when the switchover happened which was ITV1,2,3,E4 etc.
Now, I know Everyone is going digital in 2011, but didnt actually think you had to wait till then to receive Digital Channels, as thought that is what a Freeview Box was, turned signal to digital.
So, I am wondering am I missing something here and is there a way to get all my Freeview Channels
Any help Greatly Appreciated
