Wow, your Aerial truly has an issue, it corrupts it into a secret code!



I never knew Teletext graphics were THAT good! Very Happy

Bizarrely on ITV1 last night there was an announcement concerning the impending digital switchover announcing that, "some viewers may experience some technical difficulties - check itv.com for more details."

Im sure that was the phrase used! lol

Its very wierd as every TV in my house has a freeview box and is on the same aerial but down stairs its badder than upstairs.


I'd guess that's because the signal has more cable to travel through to get to the downstairs from the aerial up on the roof, and if the cable isn't in brilliant condition the signal can degrade resulting in, as you say, 'badder' reception.

Alexia must have really good reception and a European TV to pickup the hidden Level 2 Teletext graphics Wink

I thought I would channel hope at 10.30 last night to the land of ITV1 Wales and heard this announcement you mentioned, it was literally just not and no mention of the news starting.

But it was the whole tone and phrases used that made me laugh a bit!

"may experience technical difficulties" ? (or similar)

and how is looking at itv.com going to prevent digital switch over?
