John D: The carrying these is temporarily on low , until 27 June. (It's actually higher than it was before started, but only 10% of the power level of the other channels.) That's because it hasn't yet moved to its final . I'd expect the problem to be fixed when it moves to on the 27th.

These problems usually occur when a is desensitised by a strong on an adjacent channel. If you have a or other , try removing it. If not, or if that doesn't, consider adding an attenuator.

I have a tuner in my Panasonic VHS DVD combi recorder and my Sony Bravia TV can get channel 31 5USA and show it on the TV however when I set the recorder for C5USA although it shows it is recording when I try the play back it shows a blank screen with a white bar across it at the bottom and the words 5USA . Any ideas what I am doing wrong as it shows on the Bravia TV.

I triedan auto of the on the recorder and the TV and both showed there was a channel 31 present but the recorder wont record 5USA.

I am extremely deaf and rely on subtitles
but very often in the evenings there are none. Such a pity because I enjoy your
programes.
Is there any reason for this ?

Dorothy Newbery: Ofcom | Statement - Television channels required to provide television access services in 2013 says that 5USA is a "Level One (full requirements)" meaning all programmes should have subtitles.

I have just finished watching your transmission of the excellent Law and Order shown at 7 pm Wed. 13th March.
Unfortunately, and not for the first time, the transmission finished before the programme ended - just before the verdict in fact. I you will be able to ensure that this does not happen again. Most frustrating.

B White 5USA is on , , Virgin and so I don't know why you have difficulty watching it. This site is just a forum where people who are having problems can ask for but if you don't say how you are trying to watch 5USA its difficult to focus on what your problem might be. You don't say how netflix pesters you - is it emails or pop up ads or what? Again if you don't say no one can help.
