Sony tv picture freezes

Different channel groups may be on different multi-plexes. So while you may be able to watch a few channels properly (on one multi-plex), you may not be able to watch others (on another multi-plex) as well. It may also be related to the modulation/bit-rate used for the channels. A lower modulation scheme, will probably result in a more stable picture.

The issues you are having can be related to the coaxial cable and aerial (+location) as mentioned by others.

Problem is with the antenna or the co-axial cable. The coax should ideally be replaced every 5 to 7 years. The problem you are having is purely because the signal for freeview at Waltham is on low power. When analogue is switched off it'll be a lot better.

The analogue transmissions from Waltham were switched off in August 2011.

Ah...guess they didn't get to upping the power yet then.

Have you tried a different aerial lead? Assuming you have one running from a socket to the TV, try a different one. Sometimes faulty aerial leads cause the problems you are describing ( we know because we had that problem at a customer's just the other day!! Changed the aerial lead and everything was fine!)
