    I seem to have lost ITV4 (the man's channel), but gained ITV2+1 (the ladies' channel).

    It's sort of like having your tonsils removed and an extra appendix put in - neither are pre-requisites for leading a full and happy life, although at least ITV4 occasionally shows good films.

    And what the hell is 'Quest'? I was expecting a whole channel dedicated to CNN's Richard Quest, but sadly I was disappointed.

    It is channels like Rabbit and SmileTV that i don't really get the point in. Fortunately I still have ITV3, 4 and Channel 5.

    I don't know how the channel list works so I'm not sure what could cause channels to be in the wrong place, but everything seems to be fine here.

    I rarely even watch any of the other channels on freeview. I have my Mum's PVR set up to record Heartbeat every day from ITV3, but that is about it.

    Is it a channel dedicated to the Lightwave and Amiga rendered Sea Quest DSV?

    It's of course a channel dedicated to Sierra's seminal adventure series Space Quest, King's Quest and Police Quest. Duh!

    It'll probably just be something boring like the rest of the TV.

    Probably. Would you believe it if I told you I cancelled my satellite subscription and haven't received any TV signals at all here for over three years now? Not joking. I realised I hardly watched anything at all and it was just throwing money out the window. So got rid of it all. And don't even miss it. Well, not much.

    I wouldn't pay a subscription for TV.

    My Mum says that the only reason she pays for a colour TV license is because I watch it, but even then, I could manage fine without it. In fact, if my Mum didn't pay it, I probably wouldn't bother.

    I subscribe to Sky still and wouldn't like to be without it as freeview offers hardly any worthhile extra channels over the original terrestrial 5. About the only useful ones are Sky News, BBC News, Dave (for the Top Gear repeats) and maybe sometimes BBC3 and E4. Oh and 5 now they have switched off their terrestrial broadcasting. Can't be doing wit missing Neighbours!

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
