Freezing Picture

[alanarmo]

We have recently installed free view boxes in 2 of our childrens bedrooms. The pictures seem to constantly jitter and freeze up. I'm not sure if the roof ariel is digital, or weather it needs to be, I'm not up on t.v. perifials. Any help would be appreciated.

If you are still receiving Analogue TV then your region has not yet switched to Digital. Check above site to find out when and enter your PostCode for more details.
There is no such thing as a Digital Aerial as your existing Aerial, providing it is in good condition should suffice.
If you live some considerable distance away from your transmitter and the reception is not ideal, then a WideBand TV Aerial may be necessary along with either a MastHead Amplifier or an indoor one.
The quality of the Freeview Boxes that you buy have a bearing on what you are able to receive, as some of the inferior quality ones have ceased to function as they cannot cope with the amount of Channels which are now available. I have encountered 1 integrated Philips TV (Part Failed)and 1 Matsui Freeview Box (Failed Completely)in the last week,whilst doing Full Re-Scan.
Check the Digital UK Site first to see how your situation is regarding Freeview reception and take it from there.

ARIEL is a washing detergent (AERIAL is used for tv), WEATHER is what it is doing outside (WHETHER is the word you want) and I have never heard of a PERIFIAL (did you mean PERIPHERAL?).

Please forgive me for appearing pedantic but I think proper spelling is not hard, and if you think it is use a dictionary (plenty on-line).

Oh! excuse me magic merlin, aka, another no mark, who hides behind a silly name, and the fact that this guy who he's making fun of will never find him. Try answering the question dickhead or get back to your pc games little man.
