My elderly uncle lives in Appleton . He got a Freeview box via the DSO help scheme when the digital switchover happened. In recent months he has been complaining that sometimes the sound all but disappears for several hours at a time before returning (gradually, not suddenly). I have been assuming that the problem was probably due to his very old TV and/or aerial, but he says that several people in the same village have been complaining of the same problem. Does anyone know what the problem might be, (in non-technical terms)please?

Paul, sorry for delay in replying. It's all channels (which is why I initially thought it was his TV at fault) and it does seem to happen at the same time every day (although I can't remember when). He's convinced tthat someone somewhere is flicking a switch and turning his signal down at the same time every day!

Thanks jb38 and Stephen P - I'll check the Scart next time I'm there, and then I'll suggest he contacts the DSO people (although the person that came to install his box didn't actually connect up the Scart cable properly, I had to do that myself!).
