I have a freeview tv and separate digital recorder. Since the April retune, the recorder is working fine, but I have had problems with the tv. At first I could only pick up BBC Wales. I have retuned again and managed to get rid of BBC Wales, but BBC1 & 2 are now pixelated. Can't seem to resolve this & can't find any reference to it anywhere. Any suggestions please?
Thanks, SueSue: You are only a few hundreds of metres from the Littleborough relay transmitter, which on the tower further up your road.
I would suggest that your TV may have decided to use the BBC signal from it rather than from Winter Hill. The signal strength screen usually gives an indication as to which UHF channel (equivalent to frequency) it is tuned to. Do this for BBC One. Littleborough broadcasts on C27 and Winter Hill is on C50.
Because Littleborough's channels are all low (low frequencies) and Winter Hill's are high ones, during the scan, have the aerial out for the first 50% of the scan. This should also miss out BBC Wales and ITV Wales from the Moel-y-Parc transmitter, which is what you were getting.
Try it and let me know how you get on. If there are any other issues I may be able to suggest something. M

Be aware that those receiving via satellite (Sky, Freesat etc) will not be affected, so try and ascertain that any who are not affected are actually using the terrestrial aerial system (Freeview). M

Been like it since 10 June (possibly earlier). All of the other channels are there as before. I have a TVONICS TVR Freeview box, and a Samsung TV with its own built in Freeview functionality and both are having the same problem.J

Because if you? are then the aerial goes straight into the PVR and with the RF output from same being linked into the TV's aerial socket, a scart cable connecting the PVR into the TV, and although on most TV's switching the box on causes the TV to switch over to the PVR, in some cases you have to press the AV button on the TV's remote control to access it.
What model of PVR are you referring to? that is "if" you are! updates
