    Beginning to wonder if it is the aerial lead....as depending on its position that can be quite tempremental....

    Is the aerial lead to your Freeview box comming from a wall socket or direct from the roof? If the former, I doubt if a higher spec coaxial lead will improve the reception sufficiently.

    Like an earlier poster to this forum, you need to identify your transmitter and the signal strength on each Freeview channel. That'll confirm if your BBC reception is an aerial (alignment) problem i.e. poor signal strength.
  • Well,

    bought a new cheap aerial from ASDA and now got BBC channels.......although signal still not as strong as other channels, but hey its watchable now!

    Only problem we have now is that we are unable to video record any of the freeview channels?
