Apeldoorn is a city in the middle east of the Netherlands and Gederland should be GeLderland, a Dutch county. Wished I had that text on my television - maybe I could have looked at Dutch television finally. No need to call Mulder and Scully then? Still doesn't explain why I was getting it on my TV though, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donz Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Solution to bad reception:- 1. install a better arial or 2. go digital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Originally posted by Donz Solution to bad reception:- 1. install a better arial or 2. go digital I was speaking to the owner of a TV repair shop recently, she said that if you want good TV reception in Sheffield, you'd need a 30ft aerial on your roof (at least I think that's what she said) My permanent solution was to ditch the outdoor aerial, along with BT, and go with Telewest who provide both - subject to living in a Telewest area first of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ruscoe Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Well, our TV reception was perfect until last night (apart from Channel 5 - but nothing lost there really) and we've not got a 30 foot aerial! Unfortunately, we're not in a Telewest area and can't install Sky (as we're renting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - that's where I got confused! I must have misheard the old dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ruscoe Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Maybe she was confused about the "new" metric system and meant 30 cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donz Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Y cant you get digital if you are renting? my house had digital when renting, you could always stop renting and buy like us, its so much better and totally worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ruscoe Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 The landlord doesn't want a dish. Simple as that. If I had enough money, I would buy - but I can't afford a house near the city centre Besides - my TV reception is normally fine, so there's no problem!
