trouble retuning freeview box

I'm not very tech savvy and probably a bit thick, but I'm having problems with retuning my freeview box.
The picture has been breaking up, first of all on channel 5, then all the others, so I thought I would try retuning before Sept 30 because I understood you could do this prior to the changeover.
Well, after much kerfuffle with switching on/off unplugging of all cables, it eventually retuned itself, and all the channels are still breaking up.
Have I done it wrong, did I do it too soon, or is the freeview box b****ed?
any help or advice much appreciated...thanks:o

sounds like the signal is too weak.
this could be because you are not in a good area for digital TV and/or your ariel is not very good
No idea if the retune on the 30th will sort this out i'm afraid0 -

No point in retuning before the 30th, you will need to retune on or after lunchtime on the 30th.0 -
thanks for that...in the meantime, though, my freeview box isn't working at all now...:mad:0
