@tubbsmcguire @SteveDoherty1 By "it" I meant Freeview, not an aerial. If you don't have an aerial there are indoor ones that work fine as long as you are in a good signal area.

@KnightonJ Hi Jake. I'd suggest speaking with the manufacturer. My TV at home (Hisense) has no problems and if it does usually unplugging it for 60 seconds does the trick. If no quick tricks make a lasting fix to Freeview Play, speak with the manufacturer of the TV. Thanks, Fin

@scottygb Shouldn't be any shunt on Freeview either as 7 was never reallocated.

@isykes79 @FreeviewAdvice Freeview can't do anything but report on Arquiva's progress, who have hit a view legal snags along the way. We, as far down as Filey, will be the last to see a good signal. This area is notoriously bad for TV reception so we've gone for Freesat.
