flipdown freeview tv questions
Message:
hi all,
our friends have bought a new 8inch flip down tv with built in freeview but the freeview doesn't seem to work? they have the new status arial with booster in a known freeview area. there other tv in the house is okay with freeview maybe the signal is week or does the auto tune need to be set to another frquency as standard tv goes upto 561hz and the tv tracks to 850hz ?
any advice welcome

Hi Tramp
Firstly, is the status aerial the round omni-directional one ? If so ditch it and get the status 530-5 or 530-10 directional type which are much better.
I have an Autotrail with flip down free view. I find that I have to delete the channel list and re tune whenever I change area (every trip!). Go into the edit channels menu, delete everything before doing an auto re tune.
Regards
Trevor

I do not have a flip down but do have tv with freeview incorporated. Have you swithced it to DTV? Mine has the choice of DTV/Analogue/AV and I believe something else which I cannot remember.
