Hello


OK, here is the issue...I have a Virgin line coming into the flat, apparently. I do not want to go with Virgin, I want to buy a Freeview box. Can I use the line already coming in to the flat to connect the Freeview box to the TV?


I am so confused! It does not seem to be a standard TV ariel!


Can anyone help!

Agreed - a set-top aerial will suffice as long as it is near a window and as far away from electrical interference as poss. (use an extension to acheive this if necessary); and if you're not on a bus route and have no moped/scooters frequently whizzing by your place it should be cushty.

Some of the newer set-top ariels are pretty good. Back in the day I spent a few bob on many a rubbish one


But if you plan to be there for at least a couple of years I would have an aeriel installed properly


OR


Depending on your viewing habits, you might have a PS3 or an xbox 360


with PS3 you can use the BBC/ITV/C4 players over broadband, and xbox lets you stream new films and watch sky (if you have access to a sky login account)


all without an aerial

If you get Virgin telephone and broadband they throw in TV service for free.

WE just use a freestanding aerial with our freeviews, and they're fine about 95% of the time. The other 5% I have to hold it whilst standing in a weird position while missus mockers tortures me with the repeat edition of Eastenders.

    • Saw this today about Southwark voting in support of a tourist tax in the borough  BBC News - Tourist tax visitor levy comes closer in Southwark https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ypvw0qln7o Makes me wonder what else they can find to tax, maybe a fine for breaking wind, or breathing or even a tax on windows. Of course I am being facetious but it does feel like if it moves, they will tax it. 
    • Politicians particularly so....remember it's always party before people! I doubt McAsh will be in cabinet much longer...he might find even more attempts to kneecap his political career. I wonder if he might have to move to another area and restart - he obviously has political ambition but it seems Southwark is not going to be where it blossoms anymore - unless he can manage some sort of coup.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.
