re tuned freeview box 6 times and still losing channels?

Question

I live in Newark upon trent and after losing some channels yesterday I did a full re tune and after doing this I have lost the whole of the BBC channels and they are coming up as new on the OSD (on screen display) and when I do get them straight after a re tune I can only get them for 2 min's and after that they switch off and I get a blank screen with the OSD saying no signal.

I have also done a first time set up to see if this corrected the problem and it didn't.

Any one any ideas as to what I should be doing the box is less than a year old (if that helps ??)
Or should I be contacting an ariel person ??

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Your signal is too weak. A new aerial or aerial re-alignment is the answer here, also you could try a different transmitter. Good Luck JM

Answer 2

Could be several things,the dodgy box as we call them can fail.Have you recently been switched to another transmitter,your ariel may be too weak for freeview.We have a problem here where our local transmitter is sat on the mendips but we also get a good welsh signal,so here is a trick we learnt.Set your box to search, at just after half way pull out the co-ax then put it in again,that will remove the first part of the scan results and the box will continue to scan and I hope pick up the channels you want from another transmitter,it is a bit fiddly and may need a couple of goes.

Answer 3

I did my mum's genuinely then one in each and every of mine however the different one -no. The Freeview container grow to be too old and had to get a clean one - all high-quality now. We purely have one concern - we are residing in Wales yet now have the close by information from the South West of britain ! ( up mum's and likewise fairly some different peole)
