Freeview viewers reminded to retune

[Arthur Little]

Viewers who do not adapt their equipment as of Wednesday lunchtime will also lose *ITV3 and ITV4.

Ho hum, that's 'The Bill' [catch-up episodes in SCOTLAND] plus old repeats of both 'Taggart' and 'Trial & Retribution' ... *ALL "gone for a burton" ... for ME, at any rate!

Messages have been already been shown on-screen alerting people to the changes.

NOT on MINE ... mind you, I don't watch much telly (too busy on HERE!)

But some viewers have expressed frustration, saying the process has caused confusion.

"The messages keep flashing up while I am watching programmes and I'm finding it quite annoying," said one 32-year-old, from south London.

"They tell us we need to retune our channels but we can't do anything about it until September 30. Sometimes it is good to have information in advance but in this case I think it is probably causing people a lot of unnecessary worry."

I'LL BET!

Ilse *Howling, managing director of Freeview, said: "These are significant and necessary changes after this. Those who are unable to retune on September 30 can do so at a later stage ...

More than *Ilse will be "HOWLING" ... if they CAN'T!!!
