Millions of Freeview viewers could face disruption with their TV signals this week.

Freeview issued an update to customers on Tuesday, June 13 where it informed users high pressure could disrupt TV receptions 'across parts of the country'.

The disruption is expected to affect signals from Tuesday, June 13 and Sunday, June 18.

The UK's sole digital terrestrial television platform explained that this is "due to high pressure which could disrupt the TV signals which Freeview uses".

Freeview urges users not to retune TVs amid signal issues

Amid the high-pressure issues, Freeview has urged its users not to retune their TVs during this time.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about the glitching picture quality until the weather changes.

In its latest blog update, Freeview explained that the reception will be restored once the high pressure passes.

How can Freeview viewers watch TV during high-pressure problem

Those with internet-connected Freeview Play TV, or one that has the players available to view can still watch live and on-demand content from the likes of BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All4 or My5.
