Lesley Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 ....at lunchtime today. We changed our ancient TVs to freeview ones last year so today we have to re-tune them Don't they know that lunchtime is for Neighbours?? - not fiddling about with something that probably won't be as easy as they imply .....and I'll have to re-tune the Humax box and that will lose all the recording settings - that's the same as losing all the Planner series links on a Sky+ box I'm so looking forward to lunchtime today........

Old Speckled Hen Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 It's a pest isn't it. We're on Sky (about to junk it though and watch the free-to-view) but I've been helping a few of the elderly neighbours with the digital retune. We've only just got Freeview here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 We were given a freeview box a couple of years ago, as Rosie is the only one to use it, I've designated her as the official re-tuner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 DH was mumbling about it last night "probably lose a load more channels too " not that we watch that many......but DS will be mortified if Dave disappears...where will he get his Top Gear fix Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I feel a call from my parents coming on Oh my gosh - same here! My folks only bought their new one two weeks ago and it was all set up for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 I was hoping my son would be working here today but he's elsewhere - I just don't have the patience....if it doesn't work straight away then i will be lobbing a brick through all the TVs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I just can't be bothered with sumfink I never watch - I catch my 1 hour a week on iplayer while I iron. That's why Rosie does it.. if she wants to watch it, she needs to sort it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 That's what I feel. Hubby's always watching Grand Designs and location/relocation blah blah so I do catch-up on the big computer. You'd be amazed how many Sky channels show this sort of stuff.

PurpleTree Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 we've got Sky but we don't pay anything anymore, we just have the free channels. We hardly watch any TV, the kids mostly watch CBeebies, we use iPlayer is there was something specific we wanted to watch. My dad was muttering something about retuning. My grampy is having problems with his, he wants to get the Welsh BBC channels, but keeps getting the West, so no doubt hubby will be getting a call to help him sort it out, although gramps was thinking about paying the £40 and having someone come out and sort it all for him.

Fur 'n' Feathers Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well we managed to retune our TV & DVD recorder at 11.10am today. they must have been ready ahead of time & gave noon as a safe time. No problems with it. Hope everyone else does okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickric Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 .....and I'll have to re-tune the Humax box and that will lose all the recording settings - that's the same as losing all the Planner series links on a Sky+ box Have re-tuned our Humax box and the only recording setting that had to be re-programmed were those who's channels had changed, with me, only channel 5.

I thought I was going to have problems with the recordings I had got set on mine after reading your first post but it was fine and recorded as it should last night. I wonder if yours needs a software upgrade or if it's an slightly older model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
