Batman: "It's six o'clock. The hour when Ancient Egyptian super-criminals used to go to work."
Robin: "Gosh, Batman - is there anything you don't know?"
Batman: "Yes, Robin. Actually, several things."
King Tut: "And he called me mad!"
Nefertiti: "Well, let's face facts..."
King Tut: "What?"
Nefertiti: "Well, I mean, back when you were a professor at Yale, before you got conked on the head during a student demonstration..."
Alfred: "These anti-gas pills are extraordinary!"
King Tut: "Let's have some music... Bat-Music!"
Also some new fight effects, including: TOUCHE! and RIP!
Genius, sheer genius!

Othan than Sky Sports News, I have started to enjoy freeview the past week. The BBC are showing every game from the african cup of nations live of channels 301 and 302. About time they put on something I wanted to watch.

This week...
"Quickly, Robin - the Bat-springs!"
BOIIINNNGGG!
Also, we had the joy of Batman telling Alfred to meet them in the Bat-cave, before sliding down the poles with Robin. Alfred takes the stairs and get there before them.

"Reverse Bat-climbing!"

I have even less desire for freeview now the Beeb's iplayer is up and running. So if anyone sees any good BBC-made programmes on BBC3 or BBC4 do shout about it, as I can now see them*!

*Well, within 7 days of broadcast, anyway.

I am having some difficulty with my Freeview here in Swindon.
Roof aerial, signal boosted, pointing at I believe the Mendip Transmitter.
Always had a good decent signal, albeit with some occasional weather interference, including the com8 HD channels
There'd been some publicity that those of us using the transmitter would need to retune the other week when the recent UKTV channel renumbering took place.
At the time I ran the retune, didn't get the channels in their reordered positions and lost the com8 channels. Didn't think too much, this was in the bad weather spell. But everytime I reran the retune I lost some more. The BBC ones went - usually the most reliable - and all I'm left with are the ITV ones on PSB2. Reran the retune when the weather improved but didn't get better results.
I figure the tuner in the TV, the booster and the aerial must all be working for me to be getting anything. The possibility the aerial's been knocked out of alignment had occurred to me, but it would be a bit of a coincidence at the same time as the retune and I can't quite figure how.
So .... Any ideas?

I'm trying to learn more about the way Freeview works these days but keep hitting marketing guff when I want details. If I want to receive and record the normal Freeview/terrestrial channels in HD, is that best done via internet delivery these days, or what kind of aerial does it need? Can you get HD signals through a normal old-fashioned roof aerial? Anyone on here do that? I just need to be able to series link and record stuff from BBC, Talking Pictures etc. Anything else is streamed from Disney or Netflix.
I've just been informed by Virgin they're putting their prices up again by 10% next month, so I'm done with them. I pay them an absolute fortune every month and I've come to the conclusion I don't get any value from it. I have an old Freeview recorder that works fine with a standard roof aerial in the bedroom, but it only does SD. How do you get and record Freeview HD now?

I have no idea.
Freeview is an impenetable mystery for me.

I have normal televisions that don't record or do anything clever like that, so Freeview is easy. It's the same as TV used to be, only with more channels.

Is it HD though? and do you just plug in a normal roof aerial?

Im not certain, but if you got a digital aerial installed then you can get the HD channels, if you are relying on the freeview boxes I assume its whether the box itself is HD or not. Alternatively if you have an old Sky dish and HDbox you can get the freeview channels through that even if you dont have a subscription anymore. As for recording I just got a second hand Bluray recorder. It has a built in hard drive that looks like it can record a couple of hundred hours and can then obviously be burned to bluray. the only mildly disappointing bit is that theres only the aerial input and a scart so it cant be used to record from other sources. At least without some messing around. Im guessing with the right adapters you can get a hdmi signal through aerial, but I have to investigate that. |

Freeview HD was also dependent on your Transmitter
I'm not as up on it as I once was as we use a Freesat box on our main TV

I was in a charity shop this morning on the off chance they had a half functional computer chair to replace my almost entirely non functional one. No luck but they did have an LG HD 160gb HDD and DVD recorder which I suspect is pretty much what you are after, if the previous suggestions didn't work out. |

Interesting. I shall be on this over Easter to see what I can find.
Rather annoyingly after the zoom discussion last weekend I discovered that having had that Sky dish wired up with the cables sat behind the tv doing nothing for yeeeears, that a month ago I cut them and pulled the cable back out through the wall outside so when the builders replastered the living room they wouldn't be in the way. A month ago I'd not even considered using Freesat a possibility and was thinking that dish would never be used again. So now it'll need rewiring and some new holes in the new wall to go that route. Bloody annoying.
