The evidence is overwhelming that Freeview can only be received via an aerial

Except there are two posters in this thread that ARE.
Which tends to undermine your case

I had a similar problem . Dave Ja Vu needed a retune to connect (came up as an on-screen message). I retuned - no Dave or Dave Ja Vu !! Retuned again, everything OK. Suggest you just keep trying.....

Good luck.

QED

Have you found the terrestrial antenna yet?

I'm sure I will get flamed for this.... but what the hell...

I can't believe how angry/upset this post is making some people...... quite frankly over something that doesn't have much relivance to the topic anymore.

The OP said he lost Dave.... and that he is using freeview. At this point one could think that it could be issues with his ariel.... but he later posted that Dave has come back... problem solved.

I don't see why everyone is so eager to prove the OP wrong about how he receives freeview. From the posts its obvious he is not going to back down that its from a dish, and without anyone else seeing the premises, how can you argue against him.

It may be fact that freeview can't be received from a satalite, but whats to say that his dish isn't some sort of hybrid system which incorporates a normal antenna for freeview? Pointing at the ASTRA2B satalite for freesat and picking up normal freeview through its antenna.

Whether this is the case or not..... who cares?

Just leave it die....

So who are we to believe ???

Freeview - who provide the terrestial service - or some posters on this forum ??
So far from undermining, it reinforces the point

BTW mattewan

And how often is the arrangement you describe likely to be implemented in a provision for a run-of-the-mill multi-occupancy set up??

Also, I'm certainly not upset, can't speak for others of course.
I find the "mental gymnastics" that some people employ who 'prove' their case when they are clearly incorrect, all very entertaining.

It is known as:
Rationalization (psychology), the process of constructing a logical justification for a decision that was originally arrived at through a different mental process

Also, In an earlier post I made reference to the Astra2B I did of course mean Astra2D for the UK. Thought I was back in Espana with the caravan.

i personally Guest_Not!

To finish this - I got Dave back.that's that.

I could take pics from Google Earth, and actually SHOW the satellite dishes -but have no reason to do so, ergo..

I could film my equipment in place actually using the signal, but, I have no need to have to this...

There are others in this thread that use a similar set-up. It IS possible, obviously. It works here.
I called the appropriate people to confirm which satellite was being used as MHC had asked. Job done. I wasn't aware that there was nothing to be learned as far as he, and others were concerned.

I recommended calling a dish installer for clarification on this matter, and to perhaps enquire how it can be acheived themselves, as THEY can't manage it. It might be of benefit to you, GD.

I've done as much as I care to regarding this and now consider this topic closed. Thanks to all who contributed seriously to my original topic.

Thanks folks.

Steven.

Course you could..............

Glad you got Dave back - although I wouldn't miss it anyway!

communal sattelite dishes can be used to get freeview. they do that on my RAF camp.
