I have a Sony Led tv and panasonic recorder.Previous to last change over from Sutton coldfield I had no problems.Since change over I get intermittent pixcellation on Itv and C4 and some others.If I use the recorder box built in freeview I don't have any problem.When I am recording and watch another programme on the TV built in freeview system Is when I get pixcellation.I have tried to illiminate the problem by pluging the aerial in direct but it doesn't help.I have a Booster in the system.But I am 30 miles from S Coldfield.Any Ideas.Post code is WV16 6Ng

I Hall; You should carry out a signal check on both devices to ensure that they are both tuned to the same station, as Bromsgrove is also shown as being possible as well as Sutton Coldfield.
Select ITV1 and carry out a signal check on each device in turn, if you see Mux Ch46 indicated its Sutton Coldfield, whereas if its Mux Ch23 then that's Bromsgrove.
Should you find an error, then manually tuning in the channel required is the only way you will achieve what's required.

Hi,
would be useful if the main title had a date that it was issued, to put the information in to context . i.e the information ...
"SUTTON COLDFIELD transmitter - Over the next week Sutton Coldfield main transmitter: no analogue TV, TV (digital) working normally, Radio (analogue) Possible weak signal, Radio (digital) working normally. "
I've got no signal at present (4/11), but is it related to the above comment. It was fine yesterday.
Regards
Neil

Neil Marriott: Given that it says "TV (digital) working normally" I would suggest that if you have no digital TV signal I would see - Freeview reception has changed? | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice .

I have a LG freeviewHD TV. All four HD channels intermitently black out for a split second every few seconds or minutes,it has nothing to do with signal level or quality as they are perfect. A friend recently told me that his Samsung TV has the same problem. Have you any other reports of this problem, if not any suggestions. Cheers Pete Stockon

Since the digital changeover I have had a recurring problem regarding my tv digital recorder. When I try to switch on in the morning some days there is no response and I have to unplug my aerial lead to my recorder for about 10 seconds then I can start my tv recorder. Any ideas what is causing this problem? I have got an aerial booster.

I think you can get rid of that signal booster. (DN31NJ)
