cheers Brian, very strange that they would be so cloak and dagger. You should get your MP to request the info under the FOI act (I don't know who mine is) !

brian: MPs have no better access to the information via Freedom of Information than anyone else does. And I'm sure being leader of the Green Party is enough for her.

Hi Brian,
Re Friday 15 April 2011 8:34AM
Richard: Please see Freeview reception has changed?
Looked at that page first time round and tried everything to no avail.
Saturday now and only slight change is that on 1 (sony Bravia) TV which takes a different route from our aerial to the TV claims to have found 44 channels on a rescan but most of those come up as "not tuned" when you select the channel. The only channels that work are a random set of BBC4, Pick, Yesterday, Film4 4Music, Viva, ITV4, CBeebies and BBC parliament.
Other TV that has built in Freeview and an external Sony freeview box is picking nothing up.
Frustrated of Stansted.
Any further ideas welcome.
Thanks
Richard

I have just moved in a flat at W2 3AA and subscribed to BT package. I seem to have only On Demand channels and 0 Freeview (!). Can you help me to find out the problem?

William: I would suspect you need to connect the box to a rooftop TV aerial pointing at a Freeview transmitter.

I live in Uxbridge and have a new roof aerial. I can get all the Freeview channels (good reception but not exceptional) but none of the HD ones (just bought a Humax T2 receiver).
I tried manual and automatic tuning.
