TV Pickle

Some serious passion being aroused on here.

Virgin would cost £30 to install and it'd be a 12 month contract, and would be the best way to sort this nonsense out without the need for a dish.

However, turns out you can't cancel BT once your line is 'live', so that's the end of that. I'm just gonna get someone to come around and have a look at the aerial, and cross my fingers.

Sorry you are wrong, B&Q have never sold a " Freesat " Receiver, they have only ever sold a cheap Free to Air Receiver.


Which, as I have said before, is not the same thing.

Well we will have to agree to disagree.
I know what I bought, you think you know what I bought.....that's not the same thing either

There is a search engine on the official Freesat website showing retailers - if B & Q are now doing Freesat receivers then they should get themselves on it.

Well to clear this up, tell us all the make of the satellite receiver that you got from B&Q.

I know for 100% certain that you did not buy a Freesat Receiver from B&Q.

I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday let alone remember what the make is of something that was bought awhile before xmas. Next time we visit FIL I'll try to remember to get the make of it.

This is just going round in circles.....you believe you are right, I believe I am right.....as I said before, we will have to agree to disagree.

Is it connected to a roof aerial or a satellite dish?

Strange that you think that you can remember that it was a Freesat Receiver then, which of course it wasn't.:p

Trust me, you did not buy a Freesat Satellite Receiver from B&Q, they do not, and never have sold them.

As mymatebob as suggested, they are not on the list of authorised suppliers.;)

It's a cheap and nasty Free to Air Satellite Receiver / Dish Kit that B&Q had on offer a while back.

I had major problem getting channel 5, freeview channels when I moved to Dorset and told by Freeview I am in an area that doesn't pick up, and that was after spending loads of money on gold co-axial cables etc , freeview box and a tv booster. I thought that because area always had bad signal and depending on the weather I had to live with it. Recently my aerial wall socket was knocked and broken and had to re-wire it. My tv booster wasn't helping alot for ordinary analogue channels so I purchased a new one. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!! I can now get Channel 5, ITV2-4 and loads of Freeview channels, occasionally I have to alter the preferences/uhf tuning/uhf offset depending on the weather but works. I highly recommend the Philex Digital Booster SLx1 1-way Aerial Amplifer from Maplin Reference type L73AN £24.99.
