TV via big dish

frankie · 06 Apr, 2021, 08:49:29 PM

My picture has suddenly reverted back to Thursday 1st of January. It doesn't say which year but on checking it isn't 2021. Has this happened to anyone else tonight? I've tried all the obvious. unplugging, waiting 15 ins and trying again, unplugging each cable and doing the same. Turning off electric etc, etc so will be ringing the TV Dr in the morning....

Following on from the above, I am now trying to contact Gary but his number is now not recognised. Dos anyone have his number (sory, do not know his second name!) or can recommend another reliable TV repair person?

I am now getting a bit desperate - day 9 without TV... Does anyone know a TV repair man who will come to people's houses?
Thankfully I have the option that Judi gave me, to see TV on my laptop (thank you Judi) and also Amazon Prime's 30 day free trial also on laptop. I have it turned up as loud as it will go and still struggle to hear it.
HELP!!!!

Think there's a guy on the other forum called olive 25.
You could try sending him a pm if your still on that forum.
Also there's Colin at Cool Solutions, though don't know if he does up your way.
Good luck.

I would try Colin first

I agree with Judi.

frankie · 13 Apr, 2021, 03:32:45 PM

I am no longer on the other forum and haven't been for several years, so it sounds as if Colin it is then... Do any of you have a phone number by any chance? I threw my old copies of the local directories out last week

Many thanks to the three of you for responding

I think I have now found a number 600 621 436

Wow! I'm impressed. Colin is coming up here tomorrow and he seems to think he can fix the problem...

Olive 25 is Colin

olly · 13 Apr, 2021, 05:31:45 PM

Sorry, didn't know that Drax.
Have used Colin before, but only heard of Olive25 on the other forum. Never tried to get in touch.

Judi_bk · 13 Apr, 2021, 06:44:51 PM

Colin is the best

Roscoe · 13 Apr, 2021, 07:57:50 PM

Drax olive25 is not Colin.

Roscoe · 13 Apr, 2021, 07:59:33 PM

Great to hear Frankie. Colin is totally reliable and a nice guy. Use him for Aircon and our dish.

No he's Gary.

Drax olive25 is Gary West, I should know he lives at the back of my house.
