My freeview is giving me aggro, after moving from E6 3QY to DA1 2LP my previously reliable equipment has gone nuts, for example despite receiving 90 to 100 signal and quality from Crystal Palace the picture consistently breaks up, I found by manual tuning non Crystal palace numbers I can get it to work fine, however when it does its obligatory scan it says "new channels have been added" it then adds dozens more channels to the 800's and re tunes itself back to to crystal place and i have to manual tune AGAIN. it also regresses back to crystal place when it reckons the just added channels need removing because they are no longer transmitting and so it goes on. Is there a resolution for this frustrating behavior. i dont care what tv area i view, or is it just time to give up and look for a new box or tv.
I updated the firmware via the usb port but still crystal place breaks up and still cannot disable scan.

thanks for looking Anita

jb38: Thanks for the suggestion. I will ask the neighbors this weekend and I presume the thing in the loft with the red light and the aerial type wires coming out of it is the booster. I will look into disabling that when I can borrow the ladder again.

Currently out of the four previously functioning pieces of equipment I have only a Pace HD box that works reliably and only if I select south east, this box doesn't seem to rescan back to crystal palace.

Thanks for looking Anita

jb38: Thanks for your time and suggestions Out at the moment cant remember main tv will post tomorrow, however I remember my daughters boxes they use in their bedrooms Sharp TU T2 which they use in conjunction with a old style tv and a flatscreen with a broken aerial socket (Bedrooms are the places where old tvs go to die LOL!) All you can do is choose between being notified or not.
Thanks for looking

To give the Sharp tut2 a little credit if you manual tune 40 you will ALWAYS have south tv BBC1 However if u Manual tune (i think)pick tv 39 (Strength 70) (Quality 80)u get perfect picture but without fail it ALWAYS reverts back to 22(Strength 80) (Quality changes over a few secs 100 90 zero) = no picture

This never happened at previous address
Thanks for looking

Done some investigating this morning and think i have found the problem seems the aerial points at blueberrey hill. If signals don't like trees not sure pointing towards London would work it would be looking straight into trees etc defiantly no "clear line-of-sight"

jb38: Guess I with have to become more accustomed to "manual tuning" here. I don't mind the odd glitch had a few of those in Newham on the plus side defiantly No manual tune was required.

Thanks for your time and help

I'm curious why does a freeview hd box require my postcode during setup??
