Hi, just wondering whether anyone can advise me on getting TV reception. I've recently moved. I cannot see a TV connection point / lead from wall. Am on a tight budget so don't really want to commit to a Sky subscription. Anyone able to advise re my options? Sorry if this is a stupid question ......

Hi Annie5,


Not a stupid question at all! I use Freeview Play which needs an internal or, ideally, an external aerial. In my old place I had Freesat with a dish, but sadly there are too many trees here. Freeview Play/Freesat entail the initial expense for the box and dish (for freesat) but after that there is no subscription. Have a look at the websites to see if either might suit you www.freeview.co.uk & http://www.freesat.co.uk/.


I'm afraid that is the limit of my knowledge. I did vaguely look at subscription services, but I have been very happy with these two over the years.


I'm sure others will also have some good advice.

Yes, being so close to the Crystal Palace transmitter you may well, given a goodish set and location, be able to get by with a small indoor aerial for all freeview radio and TV. I've just tried a bargain-shop 2 metre fly lead instead of my aerial, and even that on its own is able to pick up many channels.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
