I have the TV and digi box linked by scart and my ariel is like the one mentioned above..a mini roof type one. I took this out of the telly and put it into the white booster box that I bought to try and get a reception. The booster is connected to the digi box.

Is there anything else I can do to try and get a reception? I'm getting no red square on ch 705, just a black screen. ”

Tommorow morning: Pull out your smart card (if you still have one in) and press menu then go to getting started and select- store channels.

It will swipe your channel list and compleatly update it. Go away and leave your box for a while and check back later (thats what i had to do).

If you get itv2 ok then you will definetly get e4 and 705 ok because they are on the same mux so you dont have to worry.

Try it without the booster box, it can interfere with the digital signal.

Also before retuning channels try turning the box on and off (as everytime i add channels it doesn't pick any up until i've turned it off then back on) and mine is a Phillips on digital box.

To clear up the confusion about Top Up TV and E4:

For the last year, E4 has been part of Top Up TV (TUTV), where you have to pay extra to receive it.

From 6am tomorrow, it will no longer be part of TUTV and will instead be free for everyone with a Freeview box. As will 705 and E4+1.

Hate to confuse things more, but according to this thread:

http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...60#post4072860

It looks like it is not the 6am start we anticipated. 2pm.

Oh well I don't think I'd be up watching TV at 6am anyway :sleep:

I have a funny feeling half of the regulars on the DTT forum will be, though!

Thanks to everyone for helping me with the setup.

I've turned it off and on and taken the card out and put it back in again. I have all the channels and E4+1 (ch 39) has ads about E4...yeeha!

Still got nothing on 705 and guess that won't go live until tomorrow, so looking forward to that. I have other E4 channels with nothing on them and some saying I'm not subscribed, but I'll rescan tomorrow again and see what happens.

Thanks again.

Update

Channel 14 (E4) now says : E4 is avaiable on Freeview from 2pm

Channel 39 (E4+1) is still showing the repeated advert looping video

Channel 705 (??) now shows the BB6 logo and says : For Big Brotehr Live 24 hours a day please retune to E4 (channel 14)

But by launch show tonight, Channel 705 has been confirmed to be showing 24/7 live stream of BB6

Channels 14 (E4), 39 (E4+1) and 705 (BB Interactive) should appear on your Freeview box now after doing a full rescan. Go to Channel 14, press RED, and you can access Ch 705.

If it does launch at 2 - you'll all be able to see the last 45 mins of BB funiest moments followed by the complete 2 part 20 top Housemates!

That should welcome all the mad BB fans and take you up to 5.00pm.

Are you getting excited?

Try rescanning you box again.

E4 and E4+1 are both broadcasting programmes now on Freeview.

The press RED feature is not working now, but it should do when the live streaming starts tonight.

Ever since E4 went FTA, all of ITV and Channel 4's channels are awful, some not playing or having a jagged image.

E4 is not working, well it is but jagged image, distorted sound. E4+1 is fine. HELP!
