setting up freeview box

hello everyone
i have been trying to set up an old freeview box that i haven't used in a while. i've got the digital telly working, but if i switch back on to normal telly it's very fuzzy. it wasn't like this before, does anyone know why it,s like this.

    Im assuming youve plugged an aerial lead in from the freeview box into the back of the tv as well as a scart?
    :idea:
  • i have plugged my outside ariel into the back of the freeview box and the leas from the back of the freeview box into back of the telly. also the scart lead is plugged in.

    If by 'normal telly' you mean analogue, then if your area has now undergone digital switchover then you're not going to get any analogue reception, or only very marginal reception if you're on the fringes of another area maybe.
    What broadcast region are you in?

    Have you tried the analogue reception with the freeview box switched on and off to see if that makes any difference?
