That explains why I had no TV signal at all when I got in this evening: I get my Freeview TV from Bilsdale 

It looks as though it won't be a quick fix ...

Oh dear. Join those of us who have no telly by choice then Yorkie. Is it a bad case of social deprivation? Or will you survive?

[Yorkie]

Short term I can survive ... longer term

I've not had a TV for television watching since the digital switch over. Can't say I miss it either, although the sitting room looks a little bare.  If you're missing something specific Yorkie there are always the on demand and streaming services to use - as long as you're not on meter broadband.

I've found the Freeview TV guide internet page, which has links to the streaming services, so yes I should be able to watch most of what I want via my laptop - better than nothing!
