babygirl Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Has anyone else been suffering from lack of Freeview/ BT vision signal today (Friday). I'm in Scalloway and apart from 20 mins at about 7pm have had no signal all day!! Am I alone in this??

Njugle Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'm told that the Freeview has pretty much been on all day in Scalloway area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Anyone else lost some of their Freeview channels due to poor signal. My yesterday ch has gone as an example. Also is everyone getting the Freeview HD channels all okay other than near Lerwick ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlinkedstudent Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 ^ Try checking the cable because I used to lose all bbc channels if it wasn't seated correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 ^ Cheers, but same both TVs and no mice or aerial fallen over, I think Bressay may have lost its oomph ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlinkedstudent Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I've checked with a couple of neighbours and their Freeview is working okay. (FreeSat in this gaff). Apparently, one or two channels broke up slightly last night but they didn't lose Freeview completely. Hope you get it sorted soon, can't have you missing Dancing on Ice at the w/e, can we?

sparkyharky Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Have looked and can confirm "Yesterday" channel is currently showing signal strength 37 whilst ITV is showing 57 (about 5 miles north of you stilldellin)and HD Channels are 76. Looks like Yesterday is out of puff !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldellin Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 ^^^ Ta for the replies, I think I got it sussed, " Yesterday " is in multiplex D and it seems all my channels in mux D are missing so looks like I will have to get a decent wideband aerial.

Hector's House Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Freeeview reception query - is there anyone on here in the East Voe area of Scalloway who uses freeview, and has been unable to watch BBC channels for several weeks? I can't fathom whether it's a weather issue (being in the lee of the Scord obviously doesn't help with signal strength) or equipment. All other channels are fine, but all BBC ones are unwatchably pixellated, and I don't understand why only those channels are affected. Prior to this episode there was only the usual nonsense when there was high pressure... (or indeed low pressure, high wind, no wind, snow, fog, drizzle, sunspots, chemtrails, plague, pestilence or Apocalyptic horsemen riding by..) Before anyone suggests - changing to sky/freesat isn't an option just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlinkedstudent Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'd consider myself lucky that I couldn't receive the BBC ... but on one occasion with a Freeview box I found I had the same problem. It transpired that when I had done some housework I'd moved the Freeview box and the cable wasn't fully seated rendering the BBC useless but all other channels were fine.

MuckleJoannie Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I had bother with Freeview for the BBC channels here at the Scord in Scalloway. My problem was the sound kept disappearing (picture was ok). After retuning several times it seems to have settled down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector's House Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Strange that the cable only affected your Auntie channels, Unlinked- alas the News channel is the one most watched so there has been much frustration (could always watch Fox News ). But I understand your warning about doing too much housework - my own regime to maintain my viewing pleasure is to regularly scrape the grime off the tv screen MuckleJ - I'll try a retune, but as I'm going to be doing it by phone with a short-tempered technophobe user I'll apologise in advance for any bad language you might hear from below!
