My aunty has given me a freeview box for my room. It comes on and is connected right but there is no signal. It is just a black screen with a little red square in the corner. Can anyone help me sort this problem out?
Is there coverage in your area? Are you trying to connect it to a portable TV as I don't think the arial on those is strong enough to pick up the signal.
Don't forget also that you will have to run the 'install' or 'tune' menu first. This will search and find the channels providing you have a decent ariel.
An OnDigital box is effectively a Freeview box, it's all terrestrial digital telly. I'm still using an OnDigital box.
The little red square (or sometimes a circle depending on signal strength) means the signal isn't strong enough. You'll either need a rooftop aerial, a better rooftop aerial or a new house closer to the transmitter!
