Consider yourself lucky. The other day my Freeview wossname told me it had found some new channels and asked me whether I would like to install them. I told it "yes", it did a channel search, announced that it had found 19 channels and instead of adding them to the ones it already had, threw away the existing ones, leaving me with CBBC, BBC Parliament, the odd radio station and some shopping-for-tat nonsense. A rescan eventually persuaded to find some more, though none of ITV's or Channel 4's channels were on the list. Only after threatening it with spending the rest of its worthless existence five fathoms down in an Essex landfill did it relent and find the whole lot. -- Dave Larrington <http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk> Beware of the opion.
