Cheers for that, Kenneth.

I'm glad you posted that because it made me check for Dave Ja Vu. It's not there either. I'll re-scan once the recordings finished.

Dish only now, the ordinary antenna was removed a while back. It is FreeView.

Perhaps this will help clarify?

It's a minor point, but you are receiving FreeSat, not FreeView.................

No I'm not, honestly

Freesat is 150 channels - NO Dave, Virgin 1, Fiver, Five US etc.

Freeview - less channels, but has the above.

Incidentally, I got Dave back last night.

Thanks all!

*Added: I don't have Sky. It's [2] COMMUNAL DIGITAL SATELLITE DISHES that can receive different things. They are owned by the council and both dishes are used by 9 private owners / tenants.

A Humax Freeview Digital TV receiver / recorder.

I've had Freesat but prefer Freeview for the reasons I'd explained above.

HD was ok, but it uses more space for the recordings.

Just in case anyone is reading this thread and is confused:-

Freeview is a terrestrial digital TV sevice received through a regular terrestrial aerial at UHF frequencies.

Freesat/FreeSatfromSky/Sky digital are digital TV services received via a satellite dish pointed at 28.2 E, (Fixed), at microwave frequencies.

I was ony confused at what other posters to this thread were confused by.

Try this then: "If I want freesat or sky they have to re-align it for the appropriate satellite. I know this for a fact because I had to get the sat. changed when I had a freesat box. I prefer freeview, so changed back."

I've just twigged what the OP is attempting to say.
He only has one co-ax connection to his flat which can either be connected, by the management company, to a terrestrial aerial or satellite dish.
