My freeview box doesn't allow me to watch channel 4, and a few other channels.?

Question

Therefore, I am not able to watch big brother this year. Is there any way of making it work?

Answer 1

Is the aerial outside? Freeview aerials work best outside and as high as possible Channel 4 is always the weakest signal

Answer 2

re scan : i was missing a channel like your self i did have to rescan a couple of times in between moving the ariel into a different position before you scan

Answer 3

What sort of Freeview box is THAT selective.........! - give it a new scan or move your aerial or both.

The only consolation is that you're not missing much ! ! !

Answer 4

Ok switch to regular TV and retune your TV.  if you get a decent picture then the problem is your set top box - if not, your main aerial is out of position.

I often cant get channel 5 on freeview and several others during the day but they do often reappear at night.  A new souped up aerial will cost me £160 (which is what I need.

Answer 5

Check your antenna and with your local TV shop to see if you have the signal in your area.

Answer 6

As David says, it is your TV aerial. You are obviously in a week signal area and it can not pick up some of the frequencies. Phone your local TV aerial company out of the yellow pages.
