Have you been through the channel rescanning process? Freview Channel 11 works fine here. I wonder whether the signal is too weak for your scanner to pick it up?

This came up on another thread. I have done all the checking and rescanning. Channel 11 comes up as Pick, which of course should be 35...

I've yet to locate it - it's not where Freeview says it is, and in the course of tracking down other misplaced channels I haven't stumbled across it.

Try on the rocker switch going one back from BBC1....something like 804 comes up for me

Pick moved to Channel 11 last June. It has moved twice since then, to 34 and then 35. Your set appears not to be rescanning properly.

I think that's quite likely, but for now it isn't enough of an issue to warrant acting. I can find all the channels I actually want at the moment - SkyArts was just a 'drop in' option.

Looks like a retune needed!

Not sure about recommending this, but we're currently watching series 6 of Bosch on Amazon Prime.

Somewhat violent - but we're most of the way through now, so will carry on to the end.

I'm really annoyed I can't get this as I think the books are excellent. I've not heard of the actor though.

Hieronymous Bosch in his other incarnation! Is he still investigating closed cases? I have not read one for ages. But I bet the books are much better than the films, if Jack Reacher is anything to go by.

Anyone else watch this? I thought it was excellent - no gimmicks, no drama, just facts and explanation, presented by people who do actually know the subject.

I really didn't know much about this before - but here is (possibly) some background - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Bosch

Are these the books which you think are worth reading? I suspect the TV series doesn't follow the books too closely - though some of the characters and the lines will be similar. I write out of ignorance though as I really don't know much about these at all.

Jack Reacher - that's another story altogether, I see.

I chanced upon it, but we were planning to watch the iPlayer. I've got it down for replay. We're slightly in Covid 19 overload, but yes it seemed an authoritative overview so worth watching for sure.

Yes. Very much recommended viewing.

I sympathise with the covid overload but an advantage of this programme is that it deals simply with the science - no politics, no blame game etc.
