Help with Freeview, aerials?
Monday, 18 November 2013
Mandy : Perhaps it's interference emitted by the HDMI lead and being picked up by the aerial lead. Try moving the HDMI lead away from the aerial leads or indeed, remove the HDMI lead completely and power on the Sky box then see if the Freeview on the other TVs is still affected.

dave thanks for your response I have tried removing the hdmi altogether and this does not change the effect. the sky is in standby all freeview channels received sky turned on and majority of channels disappear. I have followed suggestions from other posts and have set my rf output to a free channel which is either 38 or 52 but the effect is the same on either of those channels I am getting frustrated now!!

Mandy : You've done right trying different RF channels.
I'm not familiar with Sky boxes, so suggestions are general. On the same vein as discounting possible interference from the HDMI lead, perhaps leads for ethernet (network - i.e. to connect to the internet), USB and maybe others could interfere. With this in mind, if there are other leads like that which come to life when the Sky box is on, then try removing them to discount them as a possible cause.

Mandy : What about getting one of the TVs in one of the other rooms, complete with Magic Eye, and plugging it directly into RF2 of the Sky box. Probably best to power down the Sky box first.

Gentlemen, how do I resolve the problem of erasing the back ground talking about the programme as it is running ? I am using a Panasonic, 32 inch - this has only just started, but it is irritating, thanking yoi in anticipation, Charles.

Charles Stainsby: You've probably enabled Audio Decription, look for an AD button on your remote.

Hello
We have recently moved to Swindon and have borrowed a Dion set top box which is about 6 years old. It has tuned in very well and we get good television both sound and pictures but all the BBC radio and some of the commercial radio channels are very stuttery and impossible to listen to. We've tried swapping scart leads to see if that was the problem. I've done a retune without the aerial and then with the aerial and that gives exactly the same problem although it did seem to improve the signal strength. Has anyone any idea what may be wrong? We wondered if it was simply a fault in the box or old software (there doesn't appear to be an update available but the software is from 2009)
Thank you
Chris
