Hi hope someone can help us.
our freeview tv started playing up a week or two before the winterhill retune (we live in bl6/horwich). since then our tv will only pick up some of the channels and they are totally unwatchable.
we went out and got a new bigger wide band arial. This has improved things slightly but we still have no BBC and most of the channels are still very blocky.
we have tried retuneing/turning off & retuning/ manual tuneing again/ factory reset ect several times but this has not cured the problem either.
when we go through the manual retune we have a strong signal(80%) but the signal quality is very poor (0-10%) it also drops in and out a lot.
we have even got a spear tv down (was goin to put it in the kids room but maybe not now) to try and that tv will not even pick anything at all.
we have asked several people near us if they to have had a problem but they all say its been ok but they all have sky/virgin.
Do we need to get a filter or something. Our tv is only 18months old and cant really afford to get another one or sky..
Any advise you could give us would be helpful. Thanks.
