I have been using a Philips Freeview box with an aerial located in the loft without any problems for several years and it gives a good picture on all the Freeview channels. I recently decided to upgrade to a Sagem PVR, but when I connected it up I found that the only watchable channel was BBC1 with most other channels giving picture problems which kept caused the Sagem box to switch itself off.
The high street store where I purchased the Sagem, refuse to take the box back and refund my money as they say that the problem is solely due to my loft aerial which I need to upgrade to a roof top one.
If my loft aerial is good enough for my current Philips box, then should it not also be adequate for the Sagem PVR or any other Freeview box?
If "all boxes are not the same" and retailers refuse to take boxes back which are unsuitable, then how can I tell which Freeview boxes are likely to work with my aerial prior to purchase?
However, as I really do not wish to upgrade my aerial at this time (and would not have bought the Sagem box if I had known I would need to), then am I now stuck with a PVR which is effectively useless to me?
I would be grateful for any advice!
Thanks
