Greetings (2013-12-29) we are looking for some advice please. Our Free-view picture 'collapses' after a while. It is fine when switched on, then eventually makes a horrible sparking sound, and the picture goes into scrambled little blocks. We then switch off. What causes this? It does it every day when we switch on the TV. We are at SN3 5BG and our TV aerial is roof mounted with signal from Oxford. We are on a shared aerial, and the other residents don't seem to have this problem. Your comments would be appreciated. Regards, Bill

Every morning we watch the small kitchen TV (which has a little Free-view digibox that plugs directly into a scart socket), the normal picture breaks up and picsilates (sp?) after about 45 minutes. This problem does no correct itself, so we switch off. It has a standard aerial cable and a 'shared' terrestrial aerial (facing towards Oxford) on the roof of the two story building, with no obstructions. Our Post code is SN3 5BG. The other resident on this shared aerial has no Free-view problems at all.
Please advise what I can do. Have tried an aerial booster, but still the same problem.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks for reading,
