Freeview Update.?

[ibizaboy]

Has anyone got any ideas as to why my freeview box "EVERYDAY" goes blank at 9.11am and 6.11pm every day for 5/8 seconds. ?? Is it really updating. odd. thanks.

I don't know but maybe trawl through "settings" and maybe change some.

Unplug it.

Plug it in again.

Don't the EPGs update at 2 or 3 in the morning...the ones that I've had always did.

I have a freeview box and just today it completely shut off and I was in the middle of recording a programme and it didn't record properly only 5 seconds.

It's probably a glitch in the code. Nothing we can really do about it.

My guess is that it's either local radio frequency interference or interference coming through the mains power line that's causing the problem.

If either you or a neighbour have your central heating set to go off at 9.00am when you go out to work, and come on a gain at 6.00pm when you return from work (with a timer clock that's 11 minutes slow), that could easily be enough to cause your Freeview box to throw a wobbly.

If the problem is radio frequency interference, rather than mains-borne, fitting a hi-pass filter in between your aerial lead and the Freeview box is likely to solve the problem:
