Millions of Freeview users across the UK may experience disruption to their television signals this weekend, the platform has warned. The issue is caused by a band of high pressure over Britain, which can lead to pixelated images and viewers receiving signals from outside their area.
Freeview confirmed that the interference, affecting reception between Wednesday 24th and Monday 29th May, is temporary and should clear once the weather changes. However, the company advises viewers not to retune their TVs during this period, as it will not resolve the problem and may leave them without any content.
For those frustrated by the disruption, Freeview suggests using Freeview Play, which streams content via broadband and is unaffected by weather conditions. This service is available on most modern smart TVs and can also be accessed via mobile and tablet devices through the Freeview app.
