just how poor is quiality of their standard coverage is! It just pixalates all the time. I dont have a HD box (cos i dont wanna pay for it so she can watch HD eastenders). I have a samsung 32'' lcd and running it thro virgin media.no other programs do this just the F1...help.

Must be your box, on STD freeview it looks good, I ditched virgin ages ago due to pixellated signals on anything that had fast camera pans.

On the TV's in my house that use just normal freeview i'd say the quality is quite decent tbh. One of them is an LG LED backlit, and the other is the cheapest 19 inch that Tesco had!!

Is your area undergoing the digital switchover right now? We are in the Midlands, and have had to re-tune the Freeview box, where BBC channels have now moved to the 800 numbers. At the same time, the picture does pixellate more, and occasionally lose signal. It's part of the switchover, and when finished (19th Sept for us) they will increase the signals strength and give us Freeview HD.

Worth checking if the same thing is happening to you, and if it is retune the TV and then wait until later in the month and do it again.

Prior to that my TV was absolutely fine, and I am hoping it will be again when our switchover is complete. HTH :)
