Freeview tv hardware is poor quality and the entire system is flawed and badly marketed. That's why lots of people are having issues with it. It's not HD as standard, therefore bundling it into newer screens is a daft idea, Tuners built into flat screen tv's are of low resolution and require the entire tv to be replaced with a freeview hd compatible set to be of any use. Signal strength is diabolical all over the country and not of sufficient bit rate to transfer full hd resolution movies at the correct speed. Insufficient signal equals skipping sound, Blocky picture and the program guides are sketchy at best. The programming transmitted carries more adverts than ever before. There's no international programming or news due to the lack of sufficient contracts due to the superior buying power of cable and satellite companies buying all the good stuff. The whole system needs scrapping. Too little too late.
