Below are all of josie's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I have 2 Tv's. One downstairs with built in Freeview ...the other upstairs has an Alba Freeview set top box.. After switchover BBC1 moved to 800. During the ad's on all progs that were not analogue..there is a lot of freezing and squeaking interference. I have retuned, diconnected etc , got a new aerial lead, retuned and retuned. BBC1 returns to original place after each retune ...and then as soon as I change channels...it vanishes..No Signal. BBC2,3,4 etc are all fine and in their correct places.
If I unplug the aerial I still get a reasonable picture. Can't understand why the tv downstairs is perfect, and upstairs is problematic with interference on commercials and BBC1 putting itself at 800(sometimes 801, or 810)
(Whitehawk Transmitter) Both Tv's run off same aerial on roof.

Thanks to all those who offered advice.
No boosters in use. Have tried scanning without aerial and with aerial plugged in. BBC1 says it is C60 ..so Whitehawk, like the rest of the channels. The only channel that works in the '800's is BBC1.
I think I will try another complete retune on Saturday ...and see what happens. I will also try taking the troublesome TV downstairs for a retune...using the downstairs aerial connection. Failing all that ...I will try with an internal aerial. Thanks again for all your brain time..much appreciated..

I have 2 HD ready tv's...the one downstairs in lounge has intergated freeview and keeps losing ITV channels..and when they are there..very pixillated. The TV on 2nd floor with seperate Freeview box has no problems at all. Both run off the same roof aerial. Sometimes the tv in lounge decides to cut out or pixillate BBC progs. There are no other appliances connected to it, and none near it. This seems to happen for about 2 weeks every 2 or 3 months.
I am in the BN3 area of Brighton/Hove.
Any hints for damsel in distress???
