glb37: I can't recall a PCI card that doesn't support the 8k transmission mode.

Perhaps your signal is now too strong. If you have an amplifier, try removing it.

Neil: Yes, you can move your aerial to get a signal direct from Winter Hill, from which you will receive all the Freeview multiplexes.

M.Munn: The TV Licence pays for the BBC to make and broadcast programmes, but it does not cover your or anyone else's reception. That is your resposilbity.

Also leaving aside that it is impossible for your to have a single channel on Freeview, as the servies are provide in multiplexes, please can you see Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice for help.

Mike: Personally, I can't recall the actual point that powerline devices went from being utter illegal to tested-and-approved.

I can't for the life of me see why people can't run in a cat5e cable, if the don't like wifi.

David: Yes, more Freeview might suit viewers, but it won't bring in the revenue that 4G mobile licenses will.

To be fair to Ofcom, there is no form of radio transmission that is immune from interference, thus the need for extensive FEC (forward error correction) in all digital broadcast systems.

At least the lower cleared band hasn't been used yet, that would cause problems in London!

Trevor: Loft aerials are not recommended for Freeview reception, but I would venture your problems might stem from the use of an amplifier. If you have one, turn it off.

Bill: Yes, you can. However, you will need a quad-LNB - a package of four LNBs, fitted to the dish.

For satellite reception, there must be a single cable for each receiver connected to an LNB output.

For Freesat+ (and Sky+) where there are two receivers in the box, you need two cables and two LNB outputs.

So, a quad-LNB and cables can support four Freesat boxes, two Freesat+ boxes, or one Freesat+ and two Freesat boxes.
