For the last week I have had interference on all Freeview stations.At first I thought it was the aerial,but it's communal and there have been no other complaints.All channels seem to be only at 61%,which is a drop from 70 odd.Some channels are worse than others,especially BBC ones.Will my signal improve after switchover or do I need a new box?

Thanks Brian.Followed your advice,however,after trying everything I still have interference and dropping sound.Some channels are better than others.Analogue is working fine.Housing ass. say no one else has complained so it can't be aerial.Freeview box is Alba Quick to view.

I fixed it!!!! Went to put a dvd on yesterday and discovered that the freeview box mains cable was trapped between the glass shelf and the back support of the unit.Didn't really think anything of it at the time,moved it and watched the dvd.Didn.t notice till later that I had fixed the problem!

I may have to do that actually.Have had trouble with ITV1 this morning,every so often it goes all snowy for about 5 seconds,then comes back on.

Ok,switchover this morning,I did my re scan.I now have sound and no vision.Had a pic for about 5 mins,then it went like it did about a month ago,pic just faded out to a black screen.Have checked all cables.HELP!

Turns out it's my TV that's at fault.Think the tube is away.Only had it a month,but it's second hand,but apparently,I can take it back as it's faulty.

Im on the blackhill transmitter,postcode ML1 3UB.Since about 11 pm last night I have been getting picture disruption on every channel,could the high winds be affecting the communal aerial?

Thanks Brian.I had a look and checked everything again,but with no luck.I then tried unplugging the Freeview box as a last resort and plugged it into a different socket on the extension,so far,it has worked.Fingers crossed!
