Hi, not that technical but had and used AV systems for years so familiar with setups, signal strength, installations etc.
I have noticed a problem and have been searching an answer for ages. With more than one make/ model of freeview tv that seems to be data related, not signal strength. I always keep updated with regular wipes and installations for new channels. (except sadly they're mostly selling channels).
But after tv has been on for at least a 1/2hr, the channel selection becomes frozen and eventually flashes through all the 'switched' channels, catching up with the frantic button presses. Also the epg data is missing. Just says 'No information available'. The only thing that resolves the problem is to switch off the set, wait 30 seconds and then switch on with full epg and channel change working normally again. I also notice that when switching through channels, ones with 'Loading interactive services' also seem to take ages and are much like a website bogged down with java ads and cookies hogging the cpu. Is this the future of digital TV? It isn't just my sets that do it either.
I am on Guildford transmitter, (tried london) and receive london regional.
