Watched part of last night's extraordinary illnesses - very upset and moved by janet's story. What a very brave and special person. I would like to send her best wishes for a speedy end to her muscular problems - she is such a lovely lady, coping with great fortitude and guts. God bless her. Please forward our best wishes if possible.

Please will you give more precise information on what is going to happen to Sky 3. Is it just changing it's name or moving off Freeview? Also if it is staying on Freeview will it be on the same number I have it on now, channel 11? Please say it is staying and only changing it's name,
confused!

Sky 3 will move to Sky channel 152.
Sky3+1 moves from 223 to 153.

I think nothing is changing on Freeview.

All this changing around, is designed to confuse, and through paople off the scent of the real issues. In the end we will somewhere along the line be paying more for less, eventually. We will be so bamboozeled we wont know what the hell is going on.

How is it that I can get Quest on the 19in freeview tv in our bedroom but it is not listed on the big 32in freeview tv in our lounge? We have tried searching for it to no avail.

I am as deaf as a post, and rely on subtitles to enjoy a programme. Regrettably, subtitling on Sky3 -which I watched on Freeview channel 11 - was never very good; and since the name change to Pick TV despite being billed as being subtitled in my TV magazines.,in some instances it is non-existent. I wonder whether the advertisers realise their advertisements fall on deaf ears [pun intended] although I must admit some adverts are subtitled.
Briantist
Wednesday 13 April 2011 6:05AM
Roy Simmonds: The channel should still count as a "Level One" channel for subtitling, which requires about 80% of the programmes to have them.

Please could you tell me why background noise (music)!! has to be so loud on some programmes. Just been watching Me or the Dog and have had a job to hear any dialogue. It isn't just this programme but as I am watching this one I thought I would contact you to find out if anything can be done as it quite ruins the programme and, to my mind, totally unnecessary
Briantist
Friday 29 July 2011 2:56PM
Hazel Shrubsole: For most viewers, the mixing of music and speed is not a problem.

However, for a significant minority of people, this can cause problems. Generally speaking this is more likely as people age.

There are a few ways you deal with this:

- use the "tone" controls on the television set to promote the frequencies in speech (which are 85 to 255 Hz) and decrease the rest. This might be a cause of "turning down the treble".

- use the on-screen subtitles to help pick out the voice when it seems unclear.

Lots of people have this problems - see Radio 4 for those with hearing loss? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

I like the road wars dut usually start at 10 pm. Maybe sometimes can I watch this during the day or earlier ? I think about 8 or 9 pm.

Andrea Rez: You probably need a Freeview+ box so you can watch any programme at any time you like.

I'm delighted to see "Lie to Me" on your channel. I saw this program when I was in the States a year or so ago and wondered if/when it would appear in the UK. It is an excellent show, and is instructive about watching when people are telling the truth or not.

Pick TV, and all the channels on Freeview Mux5 (ARQ A) are unwatchable at the moment fron Sutton Coldfield since Thursday 1st December, the sound is choppy and sometimes unintelligable.
