Re: Built in freeview making strange noise

I have been watching it tonight and I have noticed a rather annoying noise coming from the T.V
It is quite a high pitched noise and sounds similar to crickets chirping lol
The noise is still there even if I mute the T.V
The noise can be louder on certain stations (I.E: ITV2, channel 4, QVC etc). On some stations the noise is barely even there.

Also, the noise is only there when I am watching freeview. If I switch the T.V over to analogue the noise isn't there.
I had a similar problem on a TV with built in freeview, but it was on both normal and freeview, a sort of high pitched whine. In my case it slowly disappeared over the course of that first week and will only return if I turn the TV off at the mains, if I turn it to stand-by I don't get it. Very annoying though, but to be honest Id forgotten about it until just reading your post.

PS Welcome to the forum.
