At last I have made a successful train booking and earned 2002 points :T. Thanks to everyone who posted useful advice regarding this, as I may have been the first to mention about the extra points but I then failed miserably when it came to actually making the booking :cool:

Well done! How did you manage to book it?

Does anyone here know about Freeview? TV or watching in multiple rooms?
We are with VM, have v6 downstairs and tivo in one bedroom, but I want to watch and record in another bedroom that has no cable or satellite dish running to it.
I'm looking to watch/record Comedy central/E4.
I thought of a Freeview type box that you can record but don't know if that's possible plus we don't have an ariel.
We're not very techy and can't install things ourselves.
Thoe stick thingys don't record do they?


Does anyone have any suggestions please?

You do need an aerial for freeview, you might be able to get away with an internal aerial depending on how strong a signal area you are in,

Also worth checking on here http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/coveragechecker/ to see what you will get.

Also might be worth checking on the TV you plan to get, a lot have record capability now if you add a USB device.

I already had an account set up (I don't remember ever doing this, so I had to reset the password). I then logged into my account on GWR, and checked my nectar details, thankfully I did as the card linked to I then was an old one!
I then came out of the wesbsite and used my email link which GWR sent me to get back into the website. I was then able to book the child's ticket without any issues. Hope this helps you.

DD,

The extra points come from subscribing to emails and in addition you need to be registered. If you’ve only registered you won’t have link for bonus points.

I’ll see if I can fine link to subscription page.
