Our Freeview is being very, very weird.
Every morning when we turn on the TV for Jackson to see Kidzone, it is not working. Every morning for the last week. It has a Freeview page up saying "No Signal", so we know that the TV is still connecting with the Freeview Decoder. Our Freeview box is separate from the TV. When we come home from work, Freeview works fine and stays fine all night long. It's almost like there is some sort of timer issue going on. We've tried a factory reset but it doesn't help. This is random. Any ideas? I am at a bit of a loss!!! Am finishing work soon and won't be too impressed if I can't watch Breakfast! |

the only time we lost signal for freeview was when we had rabbit ears instead of the outside aerial. sometimes just turning something off and on again can help. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Ours is a bit iffy... Channel 1 & 3 work fine most of the time but the other channels have a bit of a spaz every few minutes when the weather is bad. They go all pixilated for a second if you know what I mean? I often have to reset the box as well..... a real pain in the bum! Thinking of chucking it in for TiVo... |

It is very strange. We don't normally have problems.
We've tried all the troubleshooting, including the power removal options and reset options with no luck. It's just odd that it happens at the same time every day - it's almost like there's a timer set somewhere, but that doesn't make much sense. Besides, the factory reset should have fixed it. Well, I'll try a firmware upgrade and hope for the best. Thanks for the thoughts! |
