Getting the best Freeview experience

Reception

Your reception of Freeview depends on your location and may be affected by:

  • The signal to your aerial being obscured by trees or buildings or weakened by bad weather
  • Your aerial not being pointed in the right direction

To make sure you get the best picture quality possible we recommend:

  1. 1. Connecting TV equipment with scart cables
  2. 2. Using good quality RF cables if you don’t have scart cables

If you still have poor reception an aerial upgrade maybe required in which case you should get in touch with one of the following: The Confederation of Aerial Industries (CAI) www.cai.org.uk or the Independent Digital Standards Commission (IDSC) www.idsc.uk.com who can give you details of one or more aerial engineers who operate in your area).
