P J Bulman: It is most likely a fault with the set-top box.

If this is a Humax PVR then it is a known problem. I have had the problem since moving to Bromsgrove. It is well documented on the web and you have to follow these instructions. Go into Favourites and select all channels tv. Delete them. Select all radio stations and delete them. Do a manual tune and only download the channels ie 23 which give a 100* signal quality. Save them and the problem is solved.

Hi Mr MJT
You are correct the problem I suggesting the cure. Came about from my problems with a Humax TV. I had to do a complete default factory reset and tune in the individual channels.

Where I live in Droitwich you can pick up a good freeview signal from Bromsgrove and poor freeview signal from Sutton Coldfield on an aerial poining at Bromsgrove.
On my Humax TV and on my original Goodmans box on auto it scans the lower channels and picks out digital channels from Bromsgrove then moves up the frequencies and sees the poor Sutton digital channels and overwrites the ones already stored. Some with no signal and some with massive pixelation.

Mike Fisher: This is quite unusual, most Freeview equipment uses the lowest frequency and ignores those at the high ones.
You will probably have less problems once switchover reaches the second stage at the Bromsgrove transmitter next week.

Jim Hall. Yes this is normal. It is only a problem in certain areas. When I lived in Belbroughton I did not have this problem.
