Just got a freeview box....well yesterday, and anyway it works fine most of the time but every now and then it randomly flickers and freezes? Is this normal or is it like my mate said because the weather is shit at the mo?

Isn't it supposed to be all good the way they're trying to get everyone to convert to it.... can't be that good if it fucks up all the time

it's either the odd freeze.... or back to analog for a constant crackle....

it'll get better as time goes on, signal power is always beig boosted.

Most likely atributed to a shitty ariel and bad wiring. You need a good signal and it works fine.
