Below are all of Anthony's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Should read "on a Sony" but this site seems to have no edit facility to correct typing errors.

On the Sony you can check the signal strength and the channel being received by means of the Options button, scroll down to System Information. The set may have picked up the wrong transmitter during the retune or your aerial may have been damaged by the recent gales. More information about tuning via the white iManual button. You may have to do a manual retune if it keeps picking the wrong transmitter.

As the above post has been there for six days I assume this is now a dead website. Anyone wanting technical information should try Digital Spy instead.

For a post of that nature to be on a site for seven days does not show that Brianist has "other priorities" it shows that he has completely lost interest in this site and is happy for it to be used to advertise sexually explicit products. I doubt that this item would survive that long on Facebook, Twitter or Digital Spy. I have doubts that it is legal for it to be there as well.

The transmitter is faulty and is operating at very low power, no doubt it will be repaired soon but it has been this way from at least Saturday morning. The fact that there have been only two comments about it on this site and none on Digital Spy shows how low its audience must be. There are no problems with any other of Winter Hill's services including the local multiplex carrying That's Manchester, just GIM on channel 57.

The GIM/GMAN is completely independent of all the other services, like the Local service on channel 56 it has its own aerial system and transmitter, see mb21 for further details. If you are going to give out advice on this site do some research first. This is not the first time that this transmitter has gone low level, it seems to have very few viewers.

it has taken them nearly 8 weeks to fix it, why anyone would bother to pay to transmit or advertise on this service is mystifying. Looking at various forums, no one noticed it had gone or cared as it just transmits unwatched rubbish.

If Brian Butterworth is now too lazy to administer this site then he should either close it or hand it to someone who has more time as the above posts break several laws and it is only a matter of time before he finds himself before the local magistrate.

Sony signal metering has always been optimistic, 60% quality a Sony is quite poor. You have an aerial problem that the Panasonic is correctly indicating.
