all a bit of a disaster really...

bought freeview box, no joy spo back to shop and then

bought the £19.99 antenna, to put on roof / loft. Put it together but found in the instructionms I needed to start splitting cables and thread coaxal through it to then align to a transmitter or something in the loft....

like I said no diy expert and aware shop wouldnt take back once cable opened, so back in box...customer service and cash back now

me finks I ll stick to sky - CHEERS FOR ALL YOUR HELP

Thanks to this thread I have found out that my Freeview reception problems are down to the Rowridge transmitter.

I'll add a post here. I'm used to sky in other rooms but had a telly in the kitchen with a freeview tuner.
Haven't been able to get channels for a while and remember a letter coming though about something being switched off.
Is that it then? No more telly in kitchen? I thought the whole point of freeview was that it was digital.. Do you need a special aerial now?

I've looked at the link from above and the post above. Rowridge not shutting down until 2012

They made some changes at Rowridge recently. Have you tried retuning your Freeview box?

It might be worth checking all the connections to the aerial too, in case something has come loose. It's unlikely that you'd need a new aerial, assuming you get/got decent reception on analogue
