freeview

Hi,

 

Not sure I can do much about this but here is my situation.

 

I bought a freeview TV about a year ago and it worked fine. All of a sudden I have lost most my channels. I get BBC1, BBC2 and a few more channels that I dont use

 

Contacted Digital UK and they have admittied that there appears to be a problem and they are not sure what the issue is. They are going to look at it early in 2011 when they have a reserve antenna available. Luckily its only a bedroom TV and I have freesat downstairs but dont think its a very good service as there are no specifics and dont appear to be prioritising the issue.

 

Anyway im off my soapbox now

Hi Bill

 

I have a Panasonic dvd recorder with hard drive and Freeview, it a few years old now and always been very reliable.

 

But had a problem recently when it kept losing channels and this went on for a couple of days. I kept re-tuning but like your TV, it would only pick up a few channels.

 

However, it did eventually pick up all the channels and is working fine again.

yeah im sure it will be fine whenever they decide to fix the mast problem. I would be really annoyed if i relied on freeview as my main tv. Could understand a week or 2 to fix a problem but being told that they are looking at it at some point early next year doesnt seem that good. There was also an article about it in the local paper so its not just me.

ive had the same problem with channels dissapearing, usually when more channels get added to freeveiw. i think they just have more channels than they can handle and are still adding more! i can now get a ton of "chat n date" and home shopping channels but the ones id actually like to watch have gone! it should be getting sorted when the switchover happens, or so they say. have you tried a signal booster? other than that and paying a fortune for an ariel upgrade (that might not make a differance) it is, unfortunetly, just a waiting game
