I live in Baxenden and when we moved here in 1980 reception was a bit dodgy on one channel but improved with time. Thus I had perfect TV reception for BBC and ITV on the old analogue system. When digital freeview was first announced at the beginning of this century and started being introduced I bought a freeview TV with inbuilt box and an expensive new powerful TV aerial which gave excellent analogue reception on a multitude of channels and this was the case when the digital switch over came .... until this year when my blood pressure steadily rose to bubbling point.
It took two emails to get any reaction from Energiekontor UK Ltd and I suspect I only received a 'phone call within 5 minutes of my 2nd email being sent on 6th inst., 'cos I'd also sent a copy to Graham Jones, MP & Bash councillors. The aerial rigger came that afternoon and after I'd refused to accept his offer of fitting an aerial which would give "excellent" reception but scarcely any channels, he spent an age in the icy wind and snow fitting a freesat aerial at a cost of £160.00 - they to kindly donate £100.00 towards it
With scarcely a minute to spare after he left with a £60 cheque and the new aerial & box top giving decent pictures, son appeared and tuned in to watch the football on ITV4 only to see a black screen announcing "No Signal".
On command, the rigger reappeared yesterday - tested the TV, demonstrated that ITV4 signal was available that day and also apologised for leaving me an icy draught and a coaxial cable which wasn't firmly affixed in the larger than required hole in my wall (which was initially hidden from my view by a large plant being placed in front of it).
This pensioner is not a happy bunny.
