Anyone who thinks the Digital TV football picture has improved on ITV since switchover in areas where we used to get good analogue reception must be BLIND AS A BAT WITH ITS EYES PECKED OUT !!

The BBC’s is also slightly worse despite a much greater bit rate allocation per channel than ITV1.

Can we have analogue & CEEFAX back please, Logo free of course !!

Hi Sarah

That’s a tricky one to answer without popping round to have a look in person. How old is the box? Have you tried updating the tuning or even the software on your Freeview Recorder? There will be a menu called tuning or configuration and you should probably run the whole set-up again. I think this should do it.

Let me know if that helps.

Do you have a Freeview receiver built in to the TV and/or a separate Freeview box? Only a few areas have officialy switched over but there was a Freeview retune update on Wedsnesday that requires everyone across the country to retune the TV using the auto install or auto tune feature on your TV.

If you only have an analogue TV you’ll need to buy a Freeview digital TV set top box if your area has switched off.

My TV will not turn on after the switchover. Is there anyway to mend this? please contact me on barryrenton@yahoo.com with any advice.
recieves power however the remote control or the power button on the TV will not turn it on.

Many Thanks
