We have Freeview which gave a perfect picture until recently when the interference makes it imposible to watch a programme through. As it's only just happened I assume it's the effect of 4G. Is anyone else having problems and how can I get this sorted out without paying a fortune when I don't have, and don't want a 4G mobile phone?

Freeview TV guide changes ? Wednesday, 17 October 2012

Thanks DulwichFox for that link. Have now discovered where the HD channels that were on channels 50-54 have gone.

Really does surprise me that customers should be messed around quite so much quite so often. Bring back analogue!


hi Wolis, Is it possible your aerial has been damaged or knocked out of alignment with recent high winds?

4G is not a company.


4G is the next generation of mobile communication standards, picking up where 3G drops off and delivering higher download and upload speeds.


Up to 5 times faster.


Orange customers now connect through EE which is a company providing 4G for those who have compatible Handsets.


Everything Everywhere Limited, trading as EE, is a mobile network operator and internet service provider company headquartered in Hatfield,

James, channels 50-54 haven't gone, they have just moved to channels 100-104. We have all freeview channels including HD ... without an aerial attacted to the freeview box! Unplugged it when trying to retune due to interference and found all channels appeared, with perfect reception!

    • Good morning, neighbours! We have around 1,000+ glasses like these from a café that just closed down. Not sure if anyone would like to keep some before we send them to charity. Please feel free to come and pick them up at 22 Upland Road, SE22 9EF anytime before 31st Oct😉    
    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
