BBC reception is perfect but ITV is very poor, bad pixilation and picture freeze. Why is this please?

Ian Ansell: Hannington's Channel 4 analogue signal is on Ch66 and Midhurst's ITV/C4 digital signal is on Ch65+. The plus meaning that it is offset upwards.
I suggest that the problem might be the analogue signal spilling over onto the digital one you're trying to pick up.

Ian Ansell: I'm not so sure about this. Hannington and Midhurst are adjacent transmitters, so if you're having problems where you are, then surely those who are closer to Hannington will have it worse.
Here is a map of the transmitters:

Ian Matthews: You might have your TV in the wrong mode. It should be set to PAL I for the UK.
Different countries used different frequency offsets for different components of the analogue signal. Most of Western Europe used System G on UHF, which - compared to the UK and Ireland's System I - uses the same method of encoding the brightness and colour information, and the same frequencies, but a different method of encoding sound and a different frequency.
Stereo sound was a later add-on, and some countries in Europe did use the same NICAM system as us, but again, on a different frequency.
SCART cables carry the sound on separate wires, so the connection from your Freeview box - if it is separate, not built-in - would not be affected. It would only be affected if your TV didn't have a SCART input and you had to watch the output of the box by tuning in a spare channel preset.
