I have hardly watched TV since the Digital Switchover ruined my reception of all the channels I used to watch: No BBC or ITV channels, no Film4 etc. I have a lot of channels listed but most are unwatchable either due to picture quality or content. I have the same indoor ariel I had prior to the change. Anyone else found their reception degraded?
You get all the freeview channels you're supposed to get in ED. You can check the freeview website against what you've got to see if they are all there, if not, try retuning. You need an outdoor aerial installed for decent reception, forget the indoor ones.

Also some channels like RED Button are not listed. All I am asking is how many people actually get.


Looking at this website I see there are approx 133 channels in Total

Is anyone also getting a neighbouring region? If for example you find that you're not getting London news on BBC1 or ITV, it could mean that you're getting it from another transmitter further away than Crystal Palace.


As for me, I use an indoor aerial and get all the Freeview channels except HD.

Silly question I know, and profuse apologies if you have, but have you retuned the television since the changeover? It needed to be done twice on different dates .....


I wouldn't have thought the aerial needed moving, mine certainly didn't.

    • "Dedicated to the purpose-built student accommodation sector. PBSA News is the leading source of news, insights and analysis for professionals, investors and stakeholders in the purpose-built student accommodation sector. With a mission to provide the latest information and foster collaboration within the rental community."   The PBSA take on the strength of the market seems much more upbeat than does the govt. research paper. Perhaps they are right or perhaps it is in their interests to talk up the market?    
    • I think a lot of people here are just speculating about empty student accommodation properties. Student accommodation developments are very popular because they provide really great rates of return for the owner. A large student accommodation owner, Unite Students, saw 97.5% occupancy across their assets in the 2024/2025 academic year. They have many properties in London; https://pbsanews.co.uk/2024/10/09/unite-students-reports-record-occupancy-rates-in-q3-2024-update/ Here's a bit from CBRE on PBSA properties in London from May 2024: https://www.cbre.co.uk/press-releases/london-plan-policy-fails-to-deliver-affordable-student-accommodation - "According to new research by CBRE and QX Global, the gap between demand for PBSA and available supply in London currently stands at 100,000 – 105,000 full-time students, underscoring how demand for student housing has outpaced supply." - The development pipeline in London isn't keeping up with the demand. Ultimately this development wouldn't be built if student accommodation wasn't in demand. It's proximity to the station means that a student could get to any number of universities easily in a short span of time. Is it ideal? No. Would more affordable housing be better? Yes. Is speculating about channel migrants occupying the space uninformed idiocy? Absolutely.
