retune time for freeview

Its time for another  freeview retune on the 2nd of august.
This could well go ahead with auto update but it may give you headaches with poor channels etc.

This can be just a minor inconvenience for us but the elderly who depend on their tv its a different matter

Plasterboard fixings are all pretty useless,so dont  trust your tv to such flimsy material
