Problems with Freeview - Pls help driving me insane

Hi

Not sure if this is the right thread but we brought a freeview recorder about a 1 year and a half ago its a Logik one, at xmas we brought a samsung 32" tv with built in freeview. Since then we have had nothing but trouble with freeview - bad signal, no signal, you press up on the remote it turns off, it turns its self on, everytime we push a button on the remote it it does what it wants to. We have changed the batteries in the remote, even our surround sound control has an effect on either the tv or the freeview. Its really frustrating - currently we have to unplug the freeview everytime we turn it on to make the buttons work how we want.

Has anybody heard of this or can explain?

Thanks

Natalie

    I've had a few Freeview Boxes / Recorders and each have odd faults.

    Locking up, slow EPG, Slow Digital Text and resetting. Mute didn't work for a while!

    My curent PVR freezes / resets / Picture in Picture sticks and slow Text / EPG.
    My LCD Tv text is a bit faster.

    Sometimes remotes can interfere with each other, my hifi switches on with a non hifi remote.
