Product Information

During initial setup the Confirm Your PIN step has been updated to make it clearer you need to re-enter your PIN. (1.09) HD channels are crisp and vibrant. It excavated detail from Bodyguard’s murkier scenes while visually complex props like computer displays are well-rendered. In comparison, standard-def channels are soft and pallid. With SD or HD, motion is smooth with no untoward judder provided the source material is up to it. Setting the scene At this price you don’t get luxuries like app control; use the electronic programme guide (EPG) to select channels for viewing or recording instead. This can also ‘remind’ you when a programme is due to start and supports series-linking. If there’s a schedule clash, you’re invited to set recordings on the offending channel individually as some showings might not be problematic.

It is likely that the signal from your TV aerial is weak. Indoor aerials are particularly poor and extremely sensitive to direction, meaning they will often tune some channels when placed in one position and a whole different set when placed in another. If you have an outdoor aerial, it may not be aligned correctly to receive signals from your local transmitter.

Your T2•R will update automatically overnight whilst in standby, as long as you haven't disabled automatic updates in the System Settings menu I found I had a RF out to TV aerial cable .I attached it and it stopped the message coming up that said I had no signal on my TV. The Freeview service and channels are subject to coverage and may be changed from time to time. Aerial upgrade may be required. Visit https://www.freeview.co.uk/help
