    I'm on an indoor aerial and don't get all the channels now! So I guess I'm well and truly bu**ered!
    Always get a Qualified opinion - My qualifications are that I am OLD and GRUMPY:p:p

    You really should be using a roof aerial, but they are supposed to be boosting the signal over time so you may find you CAN get more channels
    :idea:

    Did a re-tune both on the box downstairs and the Digital TV upstairs. Lost ITV2+1 on both (was the only ITV channel we got) but gained ITV3 and ITV4 (and Quest) which i'm happy with.
    Channel order is all messed up on the DTV though so may do another re-tune in a day or two to see if it'll go back to normal- always worked in the past when the order was messy!

    We have an indoor aerial, but got a DTV with a more modern plug-in booster aerial and got loads of channels that way.

    Thank you

    How old do you have to be to become "especially elderly"?

    My especially elderly relatives are the ones who know how to retune all the local freeview boxes
  • Good for them but many others may not
