I had to, running three TV's off one areal I've now got one of those big f-off 
ones that NASA use to track satelites with a three way digital splitter in 
the loft it took two guys a couple of hours to set up and all the local 
pigeons use it as a gang meeting place.

I don't think its all its cracked up to be either instead of 5 channels of 
dross I've now got, what, 20 odd channels of dross.

Our reception is pretty good, however I bought the wife one of those dab 
radios but we cant get heart FM on the dab (from its own areal) she can get 
it on FM though so thats a wasted £130.00 :-(

Thats because you're a tight sod ;-)

Actually I solved the problem late last night, during the day I phoned one of 
these whizz'o, I can fix anything you sucker type places who quoted a 
starting price of £150.00.

Just before that crappy remake of Mean Machine came on last night I thought, 
"Hang on a minute this TV has software now how would I fix this on a PC, 
reboot, but surely thats what happens when you switch off? ah but what 
happens if I get it to scan in the channels and switch off halfway through? 
in theory it should wipe the memory"

Thats exactly what I did and it worked when I switched back on I had no 
channels at all set the Digital scan off and hey presto all back to normal.
