digital tv is Rubbish

Post by mikleed »

We had a box fitted by the digital people when needed back in summer. Since then we have to bloody re-tune every day, we do that and various amounts of stations show up, when it half-finished re-tune there are stations missing and in the wrong order ?....how the hell do I overcome this I live in West midlands and the bloke who did it gave us Gloucester as the best signal.........Any suggestions ? have done everything possible !

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

We came to the conclusion that virtually all of TV was rubbish over 10 years ago, that's why we got rid of the telly. :lol:

Have to agree SRD, I record everything I think I might enjoy watching while I'm sewing . Love The Frozen Planet and there have been some good dramas on lately, although I didn't enjoy Downton Abbey as much as the last series. I trawl though Film 4 and have a few good films I have yet to watch.
