And while modern TVs will connect to Freeview directly, they’re not always easy to use. Sometimes the TV Guide is hidden behind a screen of apps and it can be impossible to find the channels you actually want to watch.

It happens more often at night and is very prevalent in coastal areas and at times of high pressure. An affected customer would typically find that in the morning their box had retuned to a weaker transmitter and suddenly some channels have poor or no signal.The upcoming change will mostly affect people looking for cheaper Freeview boxes, who have no need for broadband connectivity or the Freeview Play catch-up apps. Remember, an internet connection will also be required to access any smart features that your Freeview box may carry, such as BBC iPlayer and Netflix.

Some people in regions that receive signals from multiple transmitters experienced issues with lost channels, duplicate channels or deleted channels being restored. We’ve worked closely with affected customers to resolve these issues.
