its just that when i put an arial in and scan for chanles it says that nothing could be found

if i do need to be in aplace with freeview coverage then can someone plz tell me how to find out thank you

Answer 1

Could be the aerial as mentioned above.  Did you have analogue TV before your Freeview purchase?

Answer 2

I think that perhaps you need an aerial upgrade right now,

Set it to do an automatic scan which should really help out.

Thank you :)

If that does not work then the aerial upgrade it is.

Answer 3

Go to freeview.co.uk website then type in your postcode to check coverage. What make and model is your unit?

Answer 4

it could be the aerial is it inside or outside aerial if iit inside it might not be powerful enough argos do good ones that run on eletric so give the signal a boost

Answer 5

you made need a better ariel. you can be anywhere and use freeview. i had this problem with my sons tv i got him for xmas. it has built in freeview/dvd and with his normal indoor ariel it wont show freeview where as when i plug my outdoor ariel into it, the freeview works fine. x

Answer 6

Yes, you need to be in an area where Freeview is available.

Only some transmitters broadcast it and your aerial should be pointed towards one.

To find out if your area has coverage, go to http://www.freeview.co.uk/home
