David White:
If you look at the top of this page, you will see that there are three services marked as PSB1, PSB2 and PSB3. These are the one you will be able to receive. The rest marked COMx will not be being transmitted from the Freeview Lite transmitter at Dronfield.

This website is independent and has no connection with any provider.

I suggest you address your comments directly to That's TV. You can contact them via their own website at That's TV

You should be able to watch most of the PSB services but you will see them in SD and will not be able to record anything nor playback recordings you may already have.

Check at FREESAT from Sky - Call now to order what will be available without a subscription.

Mr Stevens

If you enter your post code into this site it will set up links to show whether your particular location in Tewkesbury can receive signals from the Mendip transmitter. However, it is a fairly long distance and it is possible that the signals will be too weak to get reliable reception.

Mike:
A box that can TV record programmes is normally known as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) and you can connect one to any TV set. It requires the aerial to be connected to the PVR aerial input and then the aerial output from the PVR is connected to the aerial input of your TV set to maintain the ability of that set to receive and show Freeview prgrammes. You can also connect the PVR to the TV set via either a SCART (old 21-pin system) or HDMI (modern system with High Definition capability). The DVD Player can remain connected, preferably via HDMI but SCART will still work if your TV has that already.
Your friend's box is, I assume, at a different location?

This website has no connection with any broadcaster. You would do better to send your comments to the relevant service provider. If that is UK TV, then their website is at http://network.uktv.co.uk/.

Ian Sandin:

Just like BT have increased their charges across the board to pay for the extra 'sports' services they apparently provide. We don't what any of the sports they claim to show but we still have to pay the extra despite not having BT Sport either.

Seems to me that the people running BT and Virgin, and maybe others, services assume that 'everyone' wants to watch 24/7 football with a few other sports fitted in between. The FA research on how many actually watch football shows it is a minority - yet the majority have wall to wall football inflicted upon us.

There's nothing anyone can do to correct this marketing mistake.

If you are 26 km away from the transmitter it is highly unlikely that any indoor aerial will give you satisfactory reception, not even those fitted with an amplifier. There are other factors to consider as well, not just distance, such as hills and taller building between you and the transmitter. Because of that, for contributors here to be able to help more we would really need a post code so we can examine the signal path to your home.

I, too, am not a sports fan, only watching a bit of F1, maybe some golf occasionally but definitely not football, rugby, horse racing, athletics, etc. So why are we non sports viewers being forced to pay for the rights to sports we don't watch and don't want to watch? The principle used to be that you paid for the package you wanted to watch and nothing else. That has changed to everyone paying for the higher costs of football plus their normal service charges for broadband, etc.
I am still of the opinion that marketing departments don't consider what we the viewing public want but rather what they want us to watch, even if we're not interested, and making extra income.
