Hi All, I have changed the freeview box to a newer one and have the same problem all the bbc's have gone. I've Been to my neibours house to borrow a scart lead and he's had the same problem. He showed me his now working one to convince me the transmitter is on. The answer is he and all his neibours have had to swing their arials to the right a bit. I don't know why but hope this helps.

hi all has anyone else had to swing their aerial to make it pick up 1, 2, 80, 301 bbc channels? Only I'd like to know if it might cure my problem before I pay someone to go on my roof.I have a large digital aerial and its already been pin pointed at waltham twice in the past. Is the problem now that the new signal is too strong? and swinging it off station attenuates it a bit?I get channels 3,4,5,6,bla bla 81parliament,82 sky news etc all perfect.If I swing the arial will Ilose the other channels, Because even 1 degree to the right equates to several miles from waltham what's going on,or not in my case. regards Phill ps just scaned again no bbc's

Thanks Briantist, I thought That might be It. Do you happen to know how big the attenuator needs to be? I hav'nt got any at the moment and Maplins is the only place still open if they have any, and they are 10 miles away.Can I put a resister in the signal wire only. If so what value do you surgest 1k, 10k,or is it experimaent time? I was An Arial rigger 20 years ago so I do Have some experience, and in electronics, but as you know things move on. kind regards Phill

I Have Been Retuning My Box Since 8 oclock August 17th and have no BBC 1 or 2 no BBC News. I'm on Waltham tx Aerial - digital. I Still get bbc 1 and 2 on terrestial. I think the engineers must be having further problems with the digital switchover.
