Margaret : If the coax cable from your Sky box is connected into a wall plate socket of the threaded "screw in" variety and "not" a standard coax push in type such as on the rear of your TV, then this is a satellite connection.

If you can receive some programme channels on your Sky box but not others, then this is inclined to indicate a fault on the flats signal distribution system, the easiest way of determining whether it is or not being to ask one of the other flat dwellers with Freesat or Sky boxes, should any of them be using satellite boxes!

Am I correct? From the above list it seems that the Freeview 'Yesterday' channel is not availabel on FreeSat!
Is there anything afoot to rectify this, what I consider to be, omission?

Douglas: That is correct.

Yesterday is purely a commercial channel which means it has not "Public Service" obligation, so no requirement to make itself available on any/all platforms.

As it is available via Sky's subscription service it is not likely to become available on free-to-air satellite, Freesat.

Douglas: Apparently yes, and since thats the way Yesterday apparently want it (its on Sky), there is not a lot you can do about it, other than have both Freesat and Freeview.

I don't want to criticize this site, it is the most useful one I can find for availability comparison of FREE channels and I am grateful for that. However I would like to ask a question and mention a few things which might be considered as FEEDBACK.

The introduction says Below is a UK list of ALL the television . . . . in the UK using one of the free services . . . Sky No Card - Sky without a viewing card . . . What have I misunderstood when I can't find, for example, the many BBC One and Two regional channels?

As the list is so long, for people without the convenience of comparison between your Internet screen simultaneously with the televised list of available channels (on Freeview, Sky or Freesat) and for those who have that facility but who can easily loose track when scrolling' on two screens, it would be handy if the list was condensed as much as possible or formatted in a way which would one to more easily edit/tailor/cross check it and do to what the individual requires!

I find it near-perfect as it is. It would be ideal if the FreeSat frequencies could be listed by squeezing the
columns or typeface. If needed, the list can be printed out for cross-checking etc. Older browser versions
do not display the table correctly, but that is a user-problem.

could you please explain how a resident of UK receives their TV channels? I live in California my sister lives in London! She tells me she receives her TV thru the antenna!! on the roof of her building. She seem to have a lot of trouble receiving TV channels (not sure which ones, I didn't realize there were so many). I have not lived in UK for 25 years and technology has come so far. She bought a new TV when the change went to digital from analog and recently the TV stopped working she was told she needed a new one so she purchased a new one and that doesn't work. We are both in our late sixty's but I'm more tech savvy than her but I don't know how to help her because i am unfamiliar with your system. We have dish TV and pay for the various packages available to ones choice of channels. Where would you get similar service in the UK . It seems to me she is being taken advantage of because she doesn't understand the new technology and I would appreciate your help or if you could direct me in the right direction I can try to research it for her. Thank you in advance, Margaret Allison

margaret allison:
Around the UK are over 1000 television transmitters, some very powerful and others less so. The main transmitter for most of London is at Crystal Palace, on a hill a little to the south of central London. It transmits UHF signals carrying digitally encoded programmes. Some parts of London cannot get signals from Crystal Palace so there are alternative transmitters available around the capital. To receive these TV signals from any transmitter you need a suitable aerial/antenna aimed directly at the transmitter, just as you did when you lived in the area and had analogue TV. For some who live in blocks, which may be flats or maisonettes etc, they share the use of a single aerial on the roof, which is known as a communal aerial and operated by the managing agents of the block.
If your sister is not in a block but rather a conventional house and has her own aerial system then it may need to be looked at to see if there are any faults that need to be repaired. If she is in a block of flats or similar then she should ask her neighbours if they also use the communal aerial and if they are also having reception problems. If they are then the managing agents should be asked to have the system checked.
I understand that the US also uses digitally encoded TV transmissions as well as cable and satellite services, the UK equivalents are available in many parts of London.
Hope that helps? If you have further questions, please post here again and we contributors will try to assist again.

margaret allison: My best suggestion would be for her to get someone from a reputable company to come and look at it, or go to a electrical retailer and ask some questions (if she is London, she could visit the TV dept of a certain store in Oxford Street during a quite weekday, the chaps there will do their best.!)

OK, she seems to have bought a new TV in the past couple of years, and either 'She seem to have a lot of trouble receiving TV channels' or the TV 'doesn't work'. If the TV is simply dead, then it should go back to the store (if she bought it from where I work, she has a five year warrenty, but most places its just a year, unless she got an extended warrenty). If it comes on, but she is not getting a signal, firstly make sure that its connected to the aerial (the lead can fall out - happens more often than you might think), and then make sure that if she is in a flat, etc, that the central aerial system hasn't got a problem. If she has her own aerial, then it might be it has a problem, and in that case, its best if a professional gets called out. In terms of cost to have it checked, there might be a callout charge, but since you can have a new aerial fitted and cabled for no more than £189 in London, she certainly should be charged a lot less than that for just a service check.

Although most people do use dish or cable in the States, aerials are still widely used - there is a website here http://www.antennaweb.org…spx, for instance. And while your sister could get cable from Virgin or via a dish from Sky, she would have to pay extra for both those services. Right now, she just has to pay her licence fee and have a way of getting TV signals. I suspect that her system might just have a simple fault, but its best if a professional gets it sorted out. A look through websites like 'Trust Our Trades' might be a good start in finding someone reliable (a bit like Angie's List).
