Dave, any idea when Ventnor freeview will be working again, I have not missed an episode of Casualty for 217 years, therefore have little or no intention of starting now, also first MOTD of new season, list is endless.

Dave: In case you were unaware, everyone on this site has the same information as you, namely the R+T reports Radio & Television Service - in fact, if you are tuned in to the Ventnor relay you will be the first person to notice the channels coming back!
Also, since you have the internet, you should be able to either watch BBC1 live online or later on the iPlayer...
