There’s normally people here who know stuff. So I’m hoping someone can help.
We just bought a new TV, which has Freesat installed. I thought this might be a good moment, then, to ditch Sky and cut our costs. But I need to persuade my wife. This evening, I unplugged the input to our Sky+ box, connected it to the back of the TV and did a channel search.
But the reception is poor; it keeps freezing or pixelating. This has never happened when viewing via a Sky box. I plugged the cable back into the Sky box and the picture is fine.
What am I missing? Do I need to leave it for more time to stabilise? Or is there something about the Sky box (or other bits of the Sky installed kit) which is causing this.
