    How do I pick up new channels?
    In most cases, you don't need to do anything at all.
    Your TV, set-top box or PVR with Freeview should automatically update if left in Stand-by mode overnight, so the next time you switch it on, you'll find the new channel.
    Just use your remote to switch off your TV to leave it in Stand-by mode.
    A quick tip: some TVs will display an onscreen pop-up asking you to accept an update, please select to accept the update if you're prompted.
    What if my TV/box didn't update automatically?
    A re-tune should update it and pick up the new channel.
    To re-tune, look for Tuning, Digital Tuning or Auto-tuning in Settings/Menu on your TV/box. Check out our Guide to Tuning for general tips.

    Hindsight is 20:20 and obviously you are all perfect and have never made a mistake in your lives.  Yeah right.  
    You don’t possess all the facts yet feel okay about running your mouths and alleging stupidity was a factor.  These people you are calling stupid have lost two very young family members.  You are a disgraceful bunch of insensitive morons.

    I think that's a silly question Lee & one that I am not interested in responding too.

    Her ride on Footloose at Tauranga was sublime.
    Rears at the start, settles last, moves forward 3 wide with cover & waits till top of the straight & then gives it clear running.
    A very intelligent thinking rider, many others would have slaughtered it by continuing forward going 4-5 wide.

    Don't disagree with anything you have said Nomates.
    However we can't look back on those decisions & want to go back to something that no longer is fit for purpose.

    There is nothing worse than watching a Flemington 1200 mtr race & seeing them get flogged the last 200 mtrs.
    We all know the arguments for whip use, the trouble is the arguments against are logical, have some reasonable research behind them showing performance improvement is negligible & fails from a progressive industry stance.

    I agree. I know he was overtime but really, they surely could have taken 20 seconds out of the ad nauseam replays on that show that we've all already seen to let him finish his comment. Very poor form.

    They would have taken Prize Promotion Insurance via Lloyds of London, at odds of 400m to 1 they wouldn’t have paid much for it either, relative to the $10m prize.

    barryb got a reaction from THE TORCH in Bevan Sweeney   
    As they should, preference is for local content surely, if I own a horse in the race at NP I want to see the lead up & not bloody Flemington.
    The incredible thing with Sweeney is his phone gets text beeps regularly when he’s on screen, very unprofessional. He always looks half pissed.
