Carl: As will the digital switchover in general, there will be no test signals. The service only will have allocated frequencies from the start date and will start then.

jay: Almost no-one uses the relay transmitters, in addition the service will be carried on cable and probably satellite too.
The relays are provided to fill in black-spots in reception caused by the terrain and to allow anyone who has an existing aerial pointing at them at switchover will continue to get the public services.

Dave: Yes. The only things that don't work in 8k mode are listed here - TVs and boxes that do not support the 8k-mode | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - and they are all about a decade old.

David: Single frequency interference | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice is a good place to look.

Bob: If the box will not receive a signal from the satellite, then the recordings on the box are lost I am afraid. The box requires a working signal for playback functions to be enabled.

Aerial Point: I don't think such a list exists. The changes to allow boxes to auto retune at switchover was added to the specification for Freeview (the so-called D-Book) quite some years ago.

Adrian: It is most likely the SCART cable that connects your Freeview box to the set. Remove it from both devices and then reconnect it firmly.

GerryCW: It's not the North Sea that is the issue, it is the high pressure that is over the center of the European mainland.
At least there is no interference though...
