Been reading about problems with freeview and how usually any loss of picture (pixellation and freezing) is down to the aerial. I have a bit of a problem in that i live in an apartment block with approx half being lived in - 14 floors and 80 apartments. Its a new block with 'brand new' aerial on top (according to the management company!). I've mailed them asking, which is how i know.
When i complained they said they'd received no other complaints about freeview viewing, but it seems to be weather related. If the slightest bit of drizzle starts, i lose all channels except BBC and Sky 3
. The management company tell me the block is activated for Sky, so basically this is my alternative. Firstly, i don't watch enough TV and secondly i can't really afford Sky. Is there any tests i can run on my own freeview box to find out if it is functioning ok? (although its weird how i only have problems when its bad weather - which we've had a lot of recently).
Once i have my ammunition, i can start asking other owners if they have had problems and take it forward with the (tight!) management company to get it looked at.
Thanks for any help
