My TV is coming up as no or bad signal. There is no problem with my freeview box as I am also unable to view Freeview channels when I connect to my TV (which is also Freeview enabled. I can see that there were engineering works in walthamstow on the 21st - 22nd November. Can you let me know if these works are ongoing and when they are likely to be completed.
