FOAK: Your Freeview Box many need re-tuning

Do they mean I can get more channels on it than I get from the unit in
it's "out of the box" status?

 

New Freeview channels are being launched and some existing ones are moving
slots.

Re-tuning (re-scanning) for channels will ensure you have the maximum
available.

If your reception is in any way flaky, pick a time for the re-scan when the
signal is strong, otherwise you might loose some channels.

BTW one of my FV PVRs forgets all its scheduled recordings if I re-scan, the
other one doesn't, YMMV.

 

Yes. Or sometimes the channels move around, or stop broadcasting, so
it'll at least re-align the EPG with what's broadcast.

I'm guessing you want to watch Dave+1 or something?

 

That's the one. Do I just do a "re scan" in the setup menu?

 

Yes, but ffs don't put channel 80 on right now. Gordon Brown is
announcing DOOOOOOOOOM!

 

"A weak currency arises from a weak economy, which in turn is the
result of a weak government"

Ah, cheers. I'll do that when I get home and see what happens.

 

Mmm... first person shooters

My son is totally hooked on COD5. This caused him to comment on the
opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan. "Not bad, but I could've got
more"

It's a different kind of doom altogether.

It's a different kind of doom

 

It's a different kind of doom.

 

I must get round to watching SPR this week.

So how is everyone who's just started with Lovefilm getting on? I
can't complain so far but then I'm still on the free trial. A couple
of DVDs have needed a bit of a clean before they would play but the
speed of receiving them has been very good so far.

 

V's been using them since they took over from Amazon and I think in that
time she's had one that wouldn't play and a couple of box-set discs out
of order. Other than that, no problems whatsoever.

FWIW, I've also bought a visor from thevisorshop or whatever they're
called, owned a French car and ridden at high speed with a tailpack and
D207Rs, all without problems, so YMMV significantly.

They had mixed reviews but as I know several people here all joined a
few weeks back, I thought I'd see if their experiences matched mine.

Check, on several occasions.

Check x 3

Yeah, but have you *ever* had to deal with the RAC?...

 

LOL.

 

I have this great idea for a comedy show, it's got Gordon Brown cast as
Private Jock Frazer, a dour Scot, he's always very cynical, with a
naturally gloomy disposition. Alistair Darling as L/Cpl Jack Jones, he
brings boundless enthusiasm to everything he does and tends to be a
compulsive volunteer, his catchphrase is "Don't panic!". I just can't
think of a title for the show.

 

Are you sure Cane didn't have him watching Shaving Ryan's Privates?

I see a bright new future, where chickens can cross the road with no
fear of having their motives questioned

 

Sheesh. Even my 85 year-old dad can retune his freeview box.

 

Send him round then! I'm new to this Freeview thing.

 

Don't some do it automatically when you switch them back on? My digibox
does. Every visit to the 'chateau' is an adventure when we turn it on.
