steve: The usual mistake that people make it to turn on "sharpening" on their set when viewing the digital services.
This always wrecks the quality of the digital picture, in particular it runs the colours together.
(Of course you will be using RGB-SCART or HDMI if you have a set-top box).

Chris: Yes, unless you pay a minimum of £10 a month to Sky the box will revert to a normal receiver.
If you want to play/pause/record you will need to replace the box with a Freesat+HD box.

parsnip: The price depends on the recording capacity of the hard drive on the whole, you can see a range of prices here - Google .

Thank you all, again, for your kind comments.
I do feel much more confident about removing disruptive elements from the site, and hope that this will allow it to continue to help people.

Leicester Lad: No. Boosters never help with digital reception anyway, but your aerial is pointing in the wrong direction.

Ian: Dave is still being broadcast on Freeview. Have you just lost Dave or the whole of the multiplex?

Ed: You are probably picking up from the Ridge Hill transmitter then, which has not switched. If you must try an indoor aerial, put it as high up in a window as possible, hopefully pointing towards one of the high-power digital "switched" transmitters.

Nedbod: If I want to listen to radio programmes, I use get_iplayer to download the AAC format and then Windows Media Player converts them to high-bitrate MP3s for my phone.
CDs are very ... legacy.
