    I didnt mean it that way I was trying to be helpful, by reminding people to help some elderly and those who may be ill to help them with there retuning

    I did say if as I know many dont need help but no harm in asking

    I did edit my original post you quoted but obvious you have selective vision

    I think I know what you mean, but you could edit it again to try and make it more understandable.

    Which I assume is....

    Can you just remind those who can do their boxes to please ask neighbours, who might have difficulty retuning, if they need any help

    That is what I get for spending all day on the spelling, punctuation and grammar thread

    what happens if we don't retune?

    I have an indoor arial and the channels I want, to get a decent retune I need someone else to hold the arial up (took a long time when I tried this before), I'm happy a it is now....do I have to retune?
