How many Freeview channels do you have
I have cable tv so I'm only asking out of interest...
2 weeks ago BBC2 analogue was replaced by 21 digital channels (10 tv + 11 radio, all bbc). Today the switchover was completed and replacing the other 3 analogue channels (never could get Channel 5) there are just an extra 10 tv channels - making a total of 18 tv and 10 radio channels, not the 80 channels listed on the freeview website http://www.freeview.co.uk/freeview/Channels
Do you get all 80 channels? If so, did they all become available immediately or did some only appear in the following days/weeks?

It's like having a new toy and I'll probably try retuning several more times before today is out since it's very easy to do, so I was simply wondering about other people's experience of the switchover because it feels like a bit of an anticlimax to only have an additional 8 channels so far.

Thanks for the suggestion but my tv has a built-in freeview tuner and the location of the menu option in your set-up almost certainly doesn't match mine. In fact I don't have a DVD player - I have a BluRay player which is not connected to the aerial.
I've just retuned again and there are still only 29 channels.
