  1. Seems it has decided that it no longer wants to talk to the LNB. Plugged the co-ax into the satellite input on the TV. Perfect picture straight away.

    Never buy the official #Freesat box. It's been a pain in the arse from new one way or another. Sadly the only competition they had in the UK, Humax, has left the market. Which I suppose is how they get away with selling a crap product for premium money.

  11. Someone at ideal35.fr/ asked how to watch British TV because the options on Orange were terrible.

    I live close enough to use and run my own VPN, so I don't use anyone else's services to do this.

    I just wondered which DNS or VPN providers sell an endpoint in the UK which isn't constantly blocked by the UK TV companies.

  15. Anyone else in the UK having problems with FreeSat tonight?

    And by 'problems' I mean no signal?

    #FreeSat #NoSignal #FreeSatDown

    Bummer.

  25. Just a moan about tech. We bought a new TV (Samsung) at the weekend, and linking it up was easy both for free catchup services (BBC iPlayer etc) and our two paid-for services. Nice picture.
    But, it was weirdly difficult to find how to switch between Freesat and Freeview inputs.
    Is the best answer a conspiracy theory; or, is switching between aerial/dish inputs a really very unusual British ask??
    (Only the Samsung smart handset can do the switch AFAIK. )

  32. Fixed my parent’s “FreeSat” DVR box for less than £12 with a replacement 2.5” hard drive… it was a success, they can now pause live tv again, no excuse to not answer the phone to me because they are watching bakeoff!

    Framed the antique maps I bought myself for my birthday (two more frames to arrive in the post for the final two maps).

    I also got some cozy warm jumpers with cats on them for cool season

  34. @Ruddred I'll hang around for a bit - mostly because I'm afraid that if I change channels the sodding #Freesat box will start going on about eyelashes again 😟
