Anyone know anything about freeview tellies? We bought DD one for Xmas,and it won't tune in anything before ITV3, so no BBC or ITV terrestrial channels...it tunes them in fine in analogue,but just doesn't "find" them in Freeview...any ideas??

Might be the aerial you're using - think you need quite a good one to get the digital channels. We couldn't do it on our 2nd TV, because we were using a portable aerial! Our main TV is fine because we have a digital aerial on the roof!!!

just read a thread on DS about the availability of !!!!!! on Freeview. Talk about getting a load of blokes in a room together - the phrases 'slapper channels' 'dial a ho' and 'hideously ugly old woman on the screen wasn't allowed to get her boobs out (she said so), but she swore like a dock worker' are the main part of the thread :rotfl:

:eek: 5L wine box leaked all over the fridge. Good job I had some empty bottle to decant the remains into.

Friend across the road has just bought me a new year pressie - a small metal bin with a lid. Means I can empty the ashes from thefire first thing now instead of waiting for them to cool. Also bought me some baked beans as they were on offer. She does such lovely practical things.

That was nice of her! Friends like that are hard to find.

My friends are all pee'in me off at the moment...so I've gone into hibernation mode.
