I just heard that if you have Freeview or BT Vision that you will need to Re-Tune your TV on or after the 30 September to receive Channel 5.

Here is the Channel 5 Web Page that tells tou all about it, hope this will help any orgers who have Freeview. :-

It says on that site that this is for ONLY for Freevirew TV and BT Vision.

SKY and Cable TV is not affected and nothing needs to be done.

On our freeview box we dont recieve five in any of their guises. With a bit of luck this might sort it.

Five is changing tramsmission frequency and that is why you will need to retune.
If you are not getting Five or any other channel on the digital platform at the moment then i would suggest to get your aerial re-alligned.

Get free sat. Once installed no problem with channels or signal and you can get the programmes at STV are refusing to show, like The Bill, Doc Martin and Miss Marples, through ITV London. Simples!

PS Buy your receiver from the supermarket or currys and get a cheap dish from Lidl or online - not a lot of cost involved.
