Hi Paylay
I have this problem with freeview but with BBC1. I think it is something
technical to do with transmissions. Mainly I think it depends on the
location of the transmitter to where you are living. I live in Dunstable
and receive transmissions from the Sandy Heath transmitter near Bedford
which is a fair distance away from me.
All the best
Martin

Hi Everyone
I was told by Currys that they were no longer stocking the Logik Freeview
boxes. I was given to understand that RNIB was the only place to get
them.
But the Sony Bravia TVs, and the Panasonic LCD TVs (I do not know the
model numbers) can receive audio description.
I have a Sony Bravia LCD TV which receives Audio Description. The problem
is that it is buried deep within the menu structure, and I have not found
a way of
turning it off and on without help.
I know I have said this before, but ITV3 audio description is terrible
here. The sound breaks up when the AD person is speaking. I have had the
aerial tested
and spoken to someone on the Freeview helpline, but everything seems fine.
It is not a problem with the television, as the Logik box breaks up as
well, and the
Nebula box connected to my PC breaks up, although not quite as badly.
Does anyone else have this problem and, if so, have they found a cure?
