Hi i have sky+ and trying to tune indor arial to freeview chanells. To do this i have to turn the sky+ box off otherwise it will not find any digital chanells but when i turn the sky+ box off the tv tunes ok. You ask why i want to have freeview and sky+ this is because i would like to use the picture in picture (PIP) on my tv so i can keep upto date with the disabled oylimpic watching one main programe and another in PIP.
Any help much appreciated.

Thank you for your comments hard to explain setup but will have a try.

1. TV connectedted to sky+ box by HDMI
2. TV has a built in freeview
3. aerial goes into sky+ box then into TV by coax.

a. when i search for channels with sky+ turned off no problem finding the freeview channels.

b. if I then turn sky+ on the picture disappears. If I try to tune the TV with sky+ turned on, it does not find any freeview channels.

c. I think I understand that to use PIP i need both to be working or is there another way to watch with PIP IE: 2 sky channels.
Thanking you in anticipationt.

Thanks that is very detailed however i do not have a freeview box it is encorparated into the tv.

To get sky i select hdmi2 from the tv remote.
When i select tv instead of hdmi2 no signal until i turn sky off.
Think i might have to get a tv man in to sort it.
Tv areal goes into areal in on the back of sky+ box and then out via rf out to the tv.
