I think the 3G and so called 4G channels are in the 2.1-2.4GHz region much higher than TDT which is under 1GHz if I am not mistaken. 4G also uses a form of modulation which is highly resistant to interference.

the biggest problem with this decimating the channels on TDT is that they are the ones that broadcast with selectable English on the audio section

perhaps it's Rajoy's way of telling Brits they should learn Spanish.

ISTR he promised to learn English when he took office - anyone know how he is doing ??

I'm not worried about the poxy English, just want 12 yo to have the channels he's happy watching to reinforce his vocabulary. :( Anyway, there's always the possibility he'll watch the news ;) :lol:

All Spanish channels have that option - and there are no such thing as analogue channels now anyway, they are all digital

WRONG
they offer the original makers language, if it is Cantonese for Jackie Chan then it will be Cantonese, as it will be Italian or Dutch for those relevant programmes/films. Spanish only offers Spanish.

and don't talk down to me about digital and analogue - I was playing with these things before you left your short pants at home, putting three discrete sub-channels onto a single HF transmission.

:sneaky:

Paramount on Ch 53 is radiating a carrier but there is no television being transmitted
But
Paramount on Ch 68 is radiating a carrier and a nice thumping signal with a film

perhaps a re-install will get you the signal ??

The news for me does not really help, it has a limited vocabulary IMO, and it is very repetitive, the Sports show on Cuatro at 2.45pm is quite good though. I can suffer the news twice a week and it helped me with basics, I like the LA 1's Espana Directo, you used to get that on UKTV at one time and its a different type of news, more fun.

But I find films ( with subs ) and silly game shows like equal to 'wheel of fortune' or 'La ruleta de la suerte' helped more, I can actually work things out quicker than the retarded competitors which gives you a little buzz.

I had to reflash my TV into Spanish though as Sub's would not work but it does now.
