This will mean that I can only watch Neighbours at;
2:15pm and 5:30pm on Channel 5.
3:15pm and 6:30pm on Channel 5 +1
3:00pm and 7:00pm on 5*
4:00pm and 8:00pm on 5* +1
So I will only be able to watch it 8 times a day and not 10 times,
unless I watch it on Demand 5.

Re: Alan
Sky 1 and some of the other non free channels from Sky have drooped showing a DOG, or just show it for the first couple of seconds during a program.
Let's just hope that some of the free channels follow. Starting with all BBC channels, ITV channels and Channel 5.

Sometimes when they are showing a program or film in letterbox mode, the DOG is over the black area.
So with some TV's you can resize the picture to fill the whole screen with the image and lose the DOG.

Freesat reception - all about dishes | Free satellite - general
Sunday 5 February 2012 12:30PM
Haywards Heath

I lost all satellite reception last night due to snow.
If you lose your satellite reception it may be due to snow on the satellite dish and/or dish LNB.
If you can reach your dish safely then just dust off the snow.
Otherwise you should get a signal again when the snow melts.
If you can remove the snow from the dish, make sure you don't change the dish angle.

Haywards Heath (West Sussex, England) Freeview Light transmitte

Re: Alan Coldham
You are most potbelly only getting a week signal from Heathfield or Crystal Palace.
From the 30 of May the Heathfield power will increase and the Haywards Heath transmitter will start.
You won't get a signal from Midhurst
as the hill in Franklands Village will block your signal.
Is your aerial pointing to Sussex Square roundabout, north to London or east to Heathfield.

Are you really watching free TV in high definition? | High defi
Tuesday 28 February 2012 7:50AM
Haywards Heath

I have been watching High-Definition TV since 1969 when I switched from 405 line black and white VHF to 625 line colour UHF TV.
But as 625 line TV ends this year and is being replaced with 576 line digital, I will be going low-definition.
