No need to retune? Tell that to the OAP's in a shelter housing block I attended to yesterday. Over 60% of them needed to have there freeview receivers retuned.If we had not been attending to the communal aerial system, some of them probably would have to pay someone to carry out a retune. How many times is to happen? Why was it Channel 5 had to pay for a retune programme, but freeview operators don't.

With the addition of more frequencies being made available for 4G use, does this mean if you have already have, or even possibly acquire a new 4G mobile in the very near future, that it may not work on all the 4G frequencies in a few years time? In other words are the present 4G phones capable of using ALL the present and future planned frequencies?

My view of going freeview, great for extra channels, but we have gone about it the wrong way. I am particulary thinking of the OAP's who in some cases have to pay to have someone retune there freeview in stage 1 of the switchover because they have no one to help them. Having paid out x amount out of ther pension, they have to pay again for stage 2!! Why does the government not do as what happened during the Channel 5 start up, make the broadcaster(s) pay to resolve the possible problems. As a person who is in the front line of the switchover. I also find that the info we receive is very poor, especially as one web site mentions what may be new mux 7 and 8. but even our trade body is not aware off!!
