Can i receive all the Freeview channels?

[swr]

Hi, from Leeds so been without channels for some time. I can only get channels 1-5, itv3, bbc news, bbc 4 and bbc3 with my current commando image.
Is it possible to get all the normal freeview channels with another image?
A re-scan just brings up the channels mentioned.

Cheers.

FTA = Free to Air - these are the only channels you'll get, not many, LOL!

FTV = Free to View - but on the cable platform, these channels are still encrypted (though God knows why, when they are in the clear on DTV Terrestrial !!). So in a N3 area, you cannot get these channels any more, except on your VM subbed box

subbed box!??

okay thanks all

Yes- subbed box. The spirit of the cable digital TV hack since it first started five or six years ago: to always pay minimal subs, so that the hack didn't destroy the CCs, as was the case prior with On-Digital.

This at least guarantees QOS of the digital tv signal into your humble abode. Anything else split off the system then makes you a parasite, with you feeding off the host- but more importantly, the host is also feeding off you- thanks to your monthly subs. Everyone happy.

But when thousands of pirates also latch onto the system, not paying subs, and not caring if the CC survives, then the CC has to defend itself from being bled to death.

Welcome to N3, and thanks to the greedy selfish pirates for ruining a good thing!!

Tell me about the so called greedy gits. I was paying for broadband and minimum package and had separate connection to my room for the dbox. Now all gone thanks to the big N3 and the so called leachers #$♫⌂‼!"$☻◘○♂♀. I wish they are miserable and constantly get ripped off.
