Freeview - installed elsewhere in house and now lost loads of channels?

Question

I have just put the Freeview box upstairs and where we had loads of channels downstairs, it is only picking up 16 upstairs. Can't get ITV1,2,3 or any of the music channels.

Anyone else had this problem or got any (decent and relevant) advice?

Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Freeview will only work reliably with an indoor aerial when you are in a strong signal area. Have a look at this independent test for the best indoor aerials http://www.ricability-digitaltv.org.uk/

Answer 2

What type of ariel are you using? outside? Inside? if inside then look outside your window and see which direction other peoples point....this will most likely be towards the transmitter. if outside and is pointed the same as everyone elses then check the connections
