I am so angry with the freeview service! needs to be sorted out. I have invested in over 200 pounds in products and arials to gain a average standard of tv viewing. The service will worsen when moped motorcycle drive past the road of the home, microwave is used (10metres away) and even general movement walking in the proximety of the arial. I believe digital tv at the moment is awful. I miss so much news conversation words because of such happenings and low coverage which is not acceptable, its outragous that a digital service is provided and cant be viewed properly, a digital service that has extinct the previous service. I believe if I have paid out on a service that service should give atleast 100% of its intended purpous otherwise should it even exsist... otherwise i think it should be declare a complete absolute waste of energy time and money all which cant be given back.

You clearly have problems with your aerial and/or down leads, its a digital service so any old areal/leads wont do. You may also need your aerial properly aligned for digital.
The service is currently compromised as it has to 'fit' around the analogue, once that has gone it will be much better.
Try a 'quality' receiver, like the Sony, many cheap receivers perform badly, you get what you pay for.
