    @insimonated Thanks fella. I'm trying to get away from Virgin at the moment. Have sorted freeview now so will be calling to cancel all services shortly once I've sourced replacement WiFi provider. Virgin offered me a £2 reduction in my *almost* £100 monthly bill to remove the following:

    So now we have lost the Breeze music channel from NZ Freeview, and have instead more low-value 'reality', game shows and other such garbage.

    Have questioned why so few stations on Freeview in BN12 area. The reply from Freeview indicates reception in the area is poor as only a relay service & many stations not provided. Here is the conversation & how to complain to improve the service if you agree (I want Sky Arts)

    ah hell, Mum's TV hasn't picked up the changes on Freeview and needs help. Pity she is a 7hr drive away

    @zealous44672945 Hi Zealous. The Cardiff transmitter is broadcasting all the usual Freeview services, but a separate mutliplex for the Cardiff region (equivalent to the Manchester multiplex) never made it to air, so it's been included on the site as a little joke.

    @davidgstrachan @karenjellis @MartinSLewis It's a good point! Wouldn't want the Beeb to go down the Advertising route, as IMV it ruins the viewing experience & of course means the same advertising revenue spread over more channels. Of course the Gov could pay to make it available on Freeview (they need to keep that first)

    @Stillnocomment @chrisnagle Where I am, the Freeview is utter ****! I get about 15 TV channels. 1/2 mile up the road, they switch to a different transmitter & have the lot. I watch too much TV as is so is possibly a blessing but obv. I don't get as much value for £ from the bastarding TV licence as some.
