    I really wanted to see that thing on this new channel last night about David Blunkett's affair.... but damned if I can find the channel on Freeview!

    Tried retuning my Thomson box several times but no joy. Can anyone get it? Or is it only on cable and Sky?

    That's interesting. I've got no channel 13 on my freeview. I can't find it and no update is available.

    It works fine on my Philips freeview box. Try resetting your box to shipping condition and then restart the search. I have found that has cured the problem of new channels not been found on my parents Mitsishiti box.

    Well Channel 13 seems to have appeared at some time today without me doing anything. Bizarre.
    Did anyone see that Blunkett thing last night, if so was it any good? It'll probably be on again soon.

    Yes the digital channels tend to be 95% repeats. 10 minutes of screening, 5 mins of adverts. It really annoys me at times, the BBC is always a nice escape from it.

    Men and Motors is being rebranded to ITV4 in the next few months so its just going to be more ITV repeats

    I seem to be going through these set-top boxes quite easily, funnily enough just after the 12 months are up. The latest one is playing up now, so bugger it Im getting cable.

    No prob's here.

    I've noticed clips of Amelie featured on the adverts for the channel! Not sure if/when it's showing, but well worth keeping an eye out for! Great film!

    I've had my freeview box for nearly two years now, had no problems with it all. If you get a decent brand one it should be fine, Philips, Pioneer and Sony make some great ones.

    I think the blunkett thing is on again next thursday. There was definitely something advertising another chance to catch it, not 100% sure on the day/time though.

    Also when switching the tv on tonight, I was informed of 2 new channels having been added. Can't see what they are though :confused:

    Probably ITV4 (which will just be a rebranded Men and Motors) - and something on 8, though that's S4C/TeleG, so I'm not sure if one is going national, or it's simply a mistake.

    A lot of the LCNs have been shifted about, so depending on your box, you'll probably find channels in different places.
