I've been nearly two years without TV as well as don't miss it.  If I want to watch anything (which is rarely more than Corrie and Casualty) I use iplayer and ITV player.  Sounds like I'm not missing much now we're all digital.

Correct me if i am wrong, no telly no licence?

Only need one if you are watching programmes LIVE.  (as per one of the regular letters I get telling me I am breaking the law.... ..) I-player is (usually?) only available after the normal screening time I think?

If you are having trouble with Freeview it may be to do with the digital switchover which takes place here in the tyne-tees region starting today so all boxes/tv's need to be retuned we keep getting messages to remind us when we switch on every night. If your region has already switched it may becoz of that and the digi people may be worth a call.
We have freesat on our main telly and have to say its excellent, the odd scramble when its blowing a gale but its just thro a regular sky dish on side of house.
HTH or not as the case maybe!

We switched over quite some time back and, although digi signal does break up in bad weather, mostly it has been OK.
The only point it was bad was when were on the cusp of the switch-over so, until the official date, we stayed on analogue.
Considering where we are I have been quite impressed. We don't get a vary number of channels but it is nice to have a little extra for those rare Nights of TV.

We have Free Sat too. Last night a storm woke us at 04:00. Unfortunateley Free Sat does not work in heavy rain so we had to sit and watch the lightening. probablet just as entertaining at the TV shows on Free Sat.

I only ever watch after it has been screened on TV so I am safe.

just reviving this thread 

since the last required re-tune in September we keep losing all itv and C4s . This means we have to retune each time we switch it on, very exasperating! Anyone experience this as well or is the box a goner???

I've only retuned once and mine is fine on both TVs - one is a box, the other built in.

We lost all our bbc channels when our region went digital last month, rang the helpline and they said ring the tv manufacturer. The tv was one of the first digital ones purchased in 2004 a Sanyo, rang them and they said oh yeah it won't work with the new digital system you'll have to put a freeview box on it, so we have and it now works! Technology has obviuosly progressed.

I received a message on screen yesterday to retune again after today.  Don't know why.
