Freeview picture keeps breaking up at the same time every night
13 Answers
My Freeview picture keeps breaking up at 6.30pm every night, it has been going on for months, it is driving me up the wall, especially when I am trying to watch Strictly. It has been happening for over 11 months, it has been happening at different times over these months but it happens at a certain times at night it happens every night at this time for a few months, then a different time the next night for months. Can anyone tell me why this is or where I can find out what is causing it as it is spoiling my viewing.
Thanks in advance.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The problem is basically related to low signal strength. Most of the time your TV or digibox gets a good enough signal for it to handle but occasionally either the signal strength drops or the amount of interference (which has to be filtered out by your TV/digibox) increases.
A better aerial system (or, possibly, a cheap signal booster) will probably fix the problem, That would definitely be the route which I'd go down first of all. If you then still got interference problems (which, given the fact that the signal drops at the same time every day, would seem to be part of the cause), you might also need one of these:

The antenna and/or amplification is not suitable (or aligned) for the transmitter.
If you have a local postcode I can put it into my software calculator and tell you what antenna is required (on a roof at approx chimney height) and what channels you should be receiving packets from .. also the transmitter and exact bearing.
