Hi, just wondering whether anyone can advise me on getting TV reception. I've recently moved. I cannot see a TV connection point / lead from wall. Am on a tight budget so don't really want to commit to a Sky subscription. Anyone able to advise re my options? Sorry if this is a stupid question ......

Hi Annie5,


Not a stupid question at all! I use Freeview Play which needs an internal or, ideally, an external aerial. In my old place I had Freesat with a dish, but sadly there are too many trees here. Freeview Play/Freesat entail the initial expense for the box and dish (for freesat) but after that there is no subscription. Have a look at the websites to see if either might suit you www.freeview.co.uk & http://www.freesat.co.uk/.


I'm afraid that is the limit of my knowledge. I did vaguely look at subscription services, but I have been very happy with these two over the years.


I'm sure others will also have some good advice.

Yes, being so close to the Crystal Palace transmitter you may well, given a goodish set and location, be able to get by with a small indoor aerial for all freeview radio and TV. I've just tried a bargain-shop 2 metre fly lead instead of my aerial, and even that on its own is able to pick up many channels.

    • Anything that improves the front of the station has to be a good thing. Opening up the square in front is a superb idea, it will show the beauty of the architecture of the station, just as they did at Kings Cross when they ripped out the monstrosity of the 1960's frontage and now the station gleams. People probably go there to see the beauty of it. Now wouldn't it be good if once opened up and cleaned up, people visited to see how wonderful it then looks. I guess there is a generally lack of trust that the station square will open by the end of next year, HOWEVER, when the current frontage is removed and the square is opened up as it originally was it will look grand.  
    • i) You must think Liebour can do no wrong, can lie through their teeth and yet you appear to believe every word Starmer and his stooges utter. ii) More assumptions made by you, well guess what you're utterly W R O N G, seems like that's your first trip, just as I predicted.  iii) and you won't be blaming me old man. Shockingly, I actually have to agree with some of the points you've raised.  Reform are the relics of BNP and UKIP, both detestable so add them together and you get an even worse result which is Reform that the UK can do without. 
    • Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.
    • You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were  briefly made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again.
