We have been having problems with all the commercial channels for close to a week now - ie there is constant breakup of the picture - ie pixelating
I am a TV engineer and I have been receiving numerous phone calls on a daily basis from people with Freeview who think that it is something wrong with their TV and I have to tell them that there is nothing that I can do as I believe that it must be a transmitter fault as so many people are affected - including my own TVs.
Please get in touch with me if you would like more details
Many thanks

Hi
Been having problems with the signal breaking up on all channels, other than the BBC for a few days now. Same problem as that noted a few weeks ago in December.
Best wishes

K couper: There are no faults showing for the transmitter. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV?
