Re: Freeview problems??

I read about that in another paper -seems it affects some older models that have a VHS incorporated in the box. So I expect that not many people are still using that sort.

now you've gt me thinking beechy, it has never really effected me as I have a full Sky service, but both of my TVs have built in freeview and are both digital ready, and I've only just started using freeview since I put one in the bedroom.

Re: Freeview problems??

The digital TV service has recently undergone a major overhaul. Older set-top-boxes will have problems and need to be replaced. Ours is quite old, and regularly reports "new channels found" although there aren't any.

Edit: Oops - didn't realise someone had already posted a link about the upgrade. I just saw that someone has had two STBs go on the fritz. Sorry

Is it a problem with the reception or what?
It can be quite annoying if you are in the middle of something good and you miss parts because of it!
