Below are all of NB's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I live 2 miles from Crystal Palace. BBC 1 and BBC2 were the stations I could always reply on Freeview without arduous fiddling and BBC3 and BBC4 were almost as good, but since the 4th of April they have all been completely unavailable (and I don't understand why) and retuning/resetting just loses other fragile channels. While most BBC output can be watched live on Iplayer, films can't. Will the promises about better TV reception be like those made about CDs? This seems to be reminiscent of the Olympic ticket fiasco. Someone sensible might have considered augmenting the Freeview signal when removing the terrestrial signal. It would have also been sensible not to make people lose reception just before a series of English Bank Holidays.
