Hi Will and Sandra
Our signal is poor on Freeview. It isn't the built-in Freeview on our Tosh
TV or the TVonics, it's just the signal strength. We also use a booster
which the chaps installed when they put up a digital roof aerial for us. We
get a message on the screen saying "low signal", and we often get spitting,
but it doesn't do it all the time, and I've made a few recordings on the
TVonics now and they play. It's just that the programme can be interrupted
with this horrible spitting, juddering sound that sounds like a bird in
distress or something. It can be quite loud and make you jump as it's
louder than the volume on the TV when it spits, but hopefully we'll benefit
when analogue is turned off, least that's the plan!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi William,
I know where you are coming from even though I haven't had the same thing as
you but I think that in some areas the signal is not strong enough. Have
you thought about getting a signal booster? they are not very expensive
you can get one for £7.00 which you should be able to buy from any aerial
shack or most likely off eBay. I might have to get one for myself.
Also have you wrote to tvonics I have, they should actually be able to
advise you as well. Unfortunately there is no contact number for tvonics
but they do have email.
I hope this helps.

hi all, my freeview receiver is mounted on the wall outside the block of
flats where i live and its signal is terrible with this new RNIB freeview
box, i keep losing signal, anyone else had this?
i assume whether i use scart or HDMI shouldn't make a difference?
only noticed this recently when I check the service status only getting 38
to 40 percent signal on channels, strange as the west midlands area have
changed over fully to freeview.
with the portset freeview and the goodmans, had no problemw with the
freeview. my cables are all connected firmly fromw what i can tell
