Will live with the 4 normal ones (oh and pester housemate to sort out Sky so I can watch it via broadband).
I'm just surprised that you only have the four basic channels.

I have an old JVC CRT IDTV with Freeview built in. When I turn the TV on ( without it being connected to Virgin) I just get the main 5 terrestrial channels from the Winter Hill transmitter.

However, by pressing a button on my remote handset I can switch from ordinary terrestrial TV to Freeview, which gives me access to a lot more.

Might be worth inspecting the handbook which came with your TV.If it works it could make life a bit more bearable while you wait for your housemate to sort out Sky.

Hope this helps.
