Freeview warns of disruptions to TV reception this week

These interruptions come as a result of high pressure, which could disrupt the TV signals used by Freeview.

Disruptions to TV reception are expected to last until Wednesday (October 15).

Freeview warned: "You are advised not to retune your TV during this time - reception will be restored once the high pressure passes."

Why does bad weather affect TV signal?

Certain weather conditions, including high pressure (which generally brings fine weather or morning fog), may sometimes affect your TV reception, Freeview explained.

It continued: "Interference caused by atmospheric conditions is temporary and should clear once the weather changes."

How else to watch TV amid reception disruptions

If you do happen to lose TV signal, you may still be able to watch your favourite shows.

Freeview explained: "If you have an internet-connected Freeview Play TV, or one that has channel players available, you will still be able to watch live and on-demand content from the likes of BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 or 5."
