I don’t have any problems before the retune after the retune my TV won’t work. It freezes. I got samsung, sony, panasonis and alba all retune with no problems except UMC

A lot of the radio channels, apart from changing the channel number to an illogical one, have reduced the quality. lots of breaks and fades.

It re-tuned itself yesterday (Friday 13th November) and now it’s like this ! We only have 4 channels that are clear, the others are scratchy and have no sound. We cannot get onto the guide and the picture quality has gone down. We have tried Auto-Tuning the television but it has made no difference. I never thought that particular day was unlucky !
Stupid freeview !

I live in the Granada area and despite re-tuning several times I’ve lost BBC1 and BBC2 on 2 seperate freeview set top boxes. Like everything else this crappy government organises it turns to sh1t – PATHETIC!
