You should get the lower multiplexes OK, which are within range of your 
existing Caldbeck aerial on channels 25, 23 and 26.  The upper two 
multiplexes are on channels 39 and 45, so you will need a wideband aerial to 
receive them all satisfactorily.

I have been told that some channels have changed multiplexes (haven't 
checked yet), and - if true - what was readily picked up on, say, the lowest 
channel multiplex - might not be receivable on where it now is.

Wideband aerials are only about 18-20 quid, but you'll need to rig it 
yourself!  Outdoors is best as well.

We can't get Freeview in South Dalton. Neither can we get a reduction on our 
TV licence for the loss....

I think you are casting nasturtiums.

It was only fifteen years ago that the same criteria could be applied to the 
satellite-viewing populace.  All right, it was analogue scattershite with 
'sparklies' everywhere, but every council tenant and unemployed layabout 
(see 'casting nasturtiums') had a dish affixed to the front of their 
dwelling (or the back, if their dwelling faced north).  Residents' 
associations complained, better off neighbours with 'proper' telly 
complained, as did pompous people in the larger-sized newspapers.

I have two freeview boxes and proud of it - and when i've finished viewing I 
shall go shopping.......   At Aldi.

Yours with a Toyota (and a Peugeot, but we won't talk about that),

Let me put you in the picture. I have had SKY at my city residence in
Manchester for a number of years. I have now unsubscribed becuase i am
sick to death of the shite which is dispalyed theron. It is an affront
to anyone with a modicum of intelligence.
Now then, i have recently acquired my country residence in the hamlet
of Stainburn in Cumbria. The analogue tve can only see channels 1-4. I
do not want to subscribe to SKY becuase it is shite,therefore freeview
provides a convenient solution for some basic viewing choice.

I do occasionally shop at Matalan though i do use other stores also. I
am not so dim as be be hoodwinked by all this "designer" crap. I drive
a VW Golf 1800 injection,a fine piece of engineering.

kind regards

joe

Joe, is this really a 'country residence' or, as I suspect, a small 2
berth caravan on Mrs Piggletons Caravan & Camping Site (free hot showers
from 6-7am)? Presumably it would be difficult to affix a satellite dish
to the outside of a caravan thus making Freeview the perfect choice,
additionally the less cabling that is involved would mean more available
powerpoints for items such as a kettle or an electric blanket. Rather
clever really.

I should also point out that a VW Golf is just a Skoda with a slightly
improved cupholder mechanism. However they are excellent for towing.....

Impressed regards, Lou

No, but recently Vera Duckworth (Corrie St. happened to be, er,  on when I

It's a black Verso (old-style).

For someone who doesn't watch telly much, I manage to have one in the 
kitchen and one in the sitting room (underneath the toby jugs and the 
picture of the crying boy).  It is a silver-coloured unit, and clashes 
somewhat with the flock wallpaper.

I have them because I can watch more of the same for nowt (licence fee 
excepted), The kids like the pop stuff and similar drivel.  I'm not above 
having a dish, as they are indeed discreet enough for the neighbours not to 
notice and pass comment on to their friends, but I shall wait a bit yet.

Unfortunately none of my boxes accept cards for the subscription channels, 
so I'm stuck with the dross.  Mind you, there's some pretty good 
zirconium-style artificial sapphire jewellry advertised on QVC!

But Russell, what about Sky+? This is simply brilliant, I can pause live
TV, rewind, and watch again. How brilliant is that? If you happen to be
outside perhaps loading up the coal scuttle, and miss a goal you can
just rewind it and watch it over and over again!! It also means that I
can fast forward when there are any unfunny bits on Ant & Decs Saturday
Night Takeaway making the whole show 12 seconds long. Fantastic. The
only way you can pause live TV with Freeview is by chucking it in a
bucket of water at the appropriate time during a program. Rubbish!

All in all, I honestly recommend that you invest in Sky and Sky+, it is
truly brilliant. You're right the dishes are much more discreet now,
ours is positioned at the back of the house and is only noticable when
the sun shines on it and a magnified 8 million watt beam of light
illuminates Mrs Poggins front room at number 43. She's gone mad now.

Yours skyly, Lou

You are correct, of course....

Technology has progressed to a level exceeding that currently required in 
our household.  HDDs and DVDs have put VT well and truly towards the 
scrap-heap to such an extent that many brown-goods outlets no longer flog 
VTRs, and pre-recorded VTs will go the way of 8-tracks (Like the one I used 
to have on my Escort MkI, beneath the fuzzy dice and the green self-fix 
sunstrip with my name on).

It's only a matter of time....  I suppose SkY will enable unfettered viewing 
of those gentlemans' art programmes which appear as a 15-minute 'teaser' on 
freeview :o)

Yes, it's my birthday once more on May 23rd. Please don't confuse me
with being some sort of "buddy" of Lou's. I utterly detest him. I 
was always a bit wary of him ever since the time he sent me a photo
of himself some years back. It was unasked for and most unwelcome.
Even back then he looked rather overweight and flatulant. I expect the
passage of time hasn't improved matters.

Joyce was to modern literature what Picasso was to modern art: he scrambled
up the old formulas and set the table for the 20th century. Joyce's books
Ulysses (1921) and Finnegan's Wake (1939) ignored traditional plot and
sentence structure in favor of sprawling

Titter. Hello Joe. So you have finally returned to Cumbria. Stainburn is
nice isn't it. I used to go carol singing up there and that's where the
money was.

Everything will soon be unplugged and we'll get free connections to
everything, hey.Wonder what they'll do to press money out of us then for all
the crap they send.It should be a human right thing that we should be
allowed to choose our own prefered  programs and not have them forced on us
and into our homes-shucks!

Excellent.

I once saw "Vera" in a TV interview about 10 years ago, talking in a 
strange, posh voice and I thought it was Camilla Parker-Bowles.

My apologies. It was that exchange last year where the two of 
you nearly agreed to meet up at a boink that confused me.

As for your birthday, I had 23 May written down, crossed out and 
24 January in it's place. What's the 24th of January?

Ist it true you are now living in a tent and not a caravan as 
Lou suggested?

That helps a great deal.

It is very disturbing to see evidence that one has done 
something apparently meaningless and obviously incorrectly. If 
there was an explanation as to why I wrote down 24 January it 
would boost my self-confidence.

Quite. You really are disgusting. I'm rather bothered that you've
retained this photograph, probably in a bedside frame, and perhaps are
using it as some sort of sexual motivator prior to some dreadful liaison
with one of your sour-faced girlfriends. It makes me feel quite sick.

Sickly regards, Lou.

Perhaps the simple answer is that you are as thick as a plank.

Confidence boosting regards, Lou.

Good grief, presumably if everyone in history had the same view as you
Russell we would all still be drying our clothes through a mangle,
cooking food in a cauldron, and an evenings entertainment would involve
gathering around a mouse and guessing whose trouser leg it would shoot
up.

Of course technology exceeds everyday requirements, look at any picture
of Ian Dainty when with his walking club. You'll see that he has the
latest waterproof, breathable fabrics, and high tech boots, yet on most
occasions his walk would be for about 2 miles in glorious sunshine and
with a difficulty level that would hardly challenge an asthmatic slug.

But technology is great isn't it?

Technological regards, Lou

Actually it was you that sent me this photo. In the form of some 
perverted trojan spam. I never asked for it as you well bloody know!

I'll admit to one or two sour faced girlfriends. And ask for six more
to be taken into consideration. But times move on and I have found 
someone really special. ******* is a really nice girl. She has a big
detached house and only a 67,000 mortgage although her providers have
issued a warning that there is likely to be a 18000 shortfall 
upon maturity of the endowment. 

Still..... what on earth has that to do with true love??

Besotted regards, 

Ian. 

ps. Does anyone have any info on the likely size of a terminal bonus
from a Standard Life Endowment policy maturing in 2011?

An obvious untruth. All my equipment is from Yeomans. 

1. Do you still live at the same address in ****s**?
2. Do you still "work" during the day?

Interested regards, 

Ian.   

ps. You fat repellant slug.....

Of course a simple answer is probably the best you can come up with, Lou 
dear, but I'm sure I could invent all sorts of interesting, complicated 
reasons for this error. For example, it's possible he was originally 
misinformed. Or, pencil poised over the correct date, he had to answer the 
phone, whereupon the caller mentioned something happening on January 24th. 
Johnny, writing while talking and concentrating on something far more 
important than Ian's birthday, inadvertantly wrote the correct details in 
the incorrect day.

Or something.

I concur with your observations on walking-gear.  When walking the 
Threlkeld-Keswick section of disused railway-line recently, I was struck by 
the number of walkers equipped with hi-tech anoraks, metal poles with dangly 
straps attached, and humungous rucksacks (packed with what, exactly?).  I 
initially assumed that they must have been embarking on the coast-to-coast 
route-march, but was appalled to bump into them again on the way back from 
Keswick!

Perhaps they were equipment testers out on an assignment, or something...

Blimey. He's alone then. May I have his address please? I always wanted to
be a farmers wife.
Seriously, I would send him a little gift from Norway, him being such a
grand fellow. It sounds like he deserves a medal.

Rooooooooofl. He probably has a dolly tub outside his back door and puts
little blue dollies in it, lol.
Talking about outdoor clothing, I imagine Russell runs around naked with a

Good gawd. If he doesn't have use for a washing machine he certainly won't
have any use for me.

I keep seeing an advert on a local employment bulletin board over the 
last year for a laundress to work six hours a day, five days a week, to 
do a family's laundry. The poster is a man, and either he can't manage 
to hire anyone, or the help keeps leaving.  I have been baffled at how 
anyone could spend thirty hours a week on laundry, but perhaps this is 
the explanation. No machine.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, eh? My mother resolutely stuck to her 
old twin tub, or even just soak-and-spin, even though she had rheumatoid 
arthritis. It was always just too much of a bother to her to have an 
automatic installed.

That's the spirit, Ian. You keep believing that.

You have never met my mother obviously. And she has a machine. 
And she lives alone. She employs two people to do her laundry.

No, you're far too fine a Gentleman. Me, I'd put a knot in it, to be sure,
to be sure.

Does it? Mine doesn't. I cancelled it ages ago. Plain and simple
uncomplicated explanation.

One to shake it and the other to swivel it?

Possibly one to put it in and one to pull it out? I really don't 
know.

Good grief, buy a Sky satellite system you cheapskate. Freeview is
appalling with only a marginal increase in channels and a definite
decrease in quality programming. At least with Sky you can get hundreds
of channels thereby increasing the chances of watching something decent.
Additionally the freeview box looks truly dreadful stuck on top of the
telly and tells everyone that you clothes shop at Matalan, food shop at
Netto, and drive a Kia (badly).

If you must have a Freeview box I would advise taking a car hubcap (off
the Kia perhaps) spray painting it black and gluing it to an external
wall of your house, thereby giving the illusion that you have some class
rather than the unfortunate downtrodden oik you clearly are.

I sincerely hope I've helped.

Helpful regards,

Lou.
