very true plasters are for wimps, although we do tend to use a bit of blue towleing under our tape just to stop the drips more than anything :D :D

I risk being called a wimp here guys, but you really shouldn't use insulation tape on cuts as the sticky stuff can give you blood poisoning, and you really don't want that.

Having problems with my digitial TV reception.  All working fine until around 14th July when I started losing the program I was watching at around 7.00 pm.  I could not watch the Tour de France final days although I had been watching all the rest.

Retuning at different times of the day I got 6  or 18 or 55 (still not the channels I want).  Yesterday evening at 6 pm I was down to 6 viewable channels - not the ones I wanted.  at 6:15 pm I got all 89 freeview channels AND THEY ALL WORKED!

I had already reported it to Ofcom who told me yesterday that digital signal in my area was poor and likely to deteriorate when analogue is switched off!  I was not impressed.  He also decided that was the problem.  However we have already had one definite and a possible second case of illegal transmitters/wireless networks in this village which previously caused disruption. My TV system info reports I have a full signal it is just that something is interferring with the transmissions

This morning all working - every single channel until 6:15am when I was watching the sailingvia BBCi and lo and behold pixelating screen and then blank  - "program is not tuned"  - ditto my favourite channels

Grrrrrr

Sue thats ridiculous! What a carry on, having had the problem before you would think Mr Ofcom may have heard you out. Were the other transmitters visible, maybe it is something you could photograph and send via Email?

sounds like a pain in the ass!, i guess it has to be something strong, doubt it would be normal wireless stuff??.....i think you should keep going on at them, keeping a record of time and dates, there will be a clear pattern!

sounds about right for them, did you also  know that from 2011 or somewhere round that date we will all have to drive with our headlights on no matter what time of the day, yet another euro law being imposed on us

Engineer called today (Telephone) as he is in BRISTOL.  He was rather more sympathetic and actually listened to what I had to say. 

Well last night at 6:00 I only had 6 channels but three minutes later tuned 89 (more like it) and what is more they all worked.  This morning some were "program not tuned" or "program not avaiable" but now they are all available and working.  Now someone tell me if they think there is something NOT interfering with my signal.

The Engineer (Ofcom's one and only it seems) is going on holiday for a fortnight so I told him to hold his visit while I compile a "have/have not" time schedule.  Bearing in mind I do not spend all day watching (or trying to watch) the TV.  Goodness knows I have other things to do but I AM a Trekkie and LOVE Voyager which is currently on Virgin 1 and so far I have seen part of 2 episodes only.

I will have a look at these.  Thanks!

ah see thats where us tele engineers and sparkeys differ, we use the nogging by putting the blue towelling under it stops that risk, well the poisioning part anyway, as for circulation, nothings gone white and fallen of yet
