It sounds like you have a

It sounds like you have a weak signal. I have heard of this problem before. Did you get a new areial when you got the freeveiw? Did you install it or the companey. If they did it have them check the signal and the antenna again. If its your box and you installed it, you will need to check all of your connectors for loose connections as well the aiming of the antenna. Good Luck, and please let us know how you made out.

Like I stated, if the grounds

Like I stated, if the grounds on the wires where loose or shotty, that would let the strong RF signals get into the wire or the set, Also try changeing the  channel setting output on the freeview box to another chanel on the TV set.  As it sounds like a leakage problem with a stronger RF signal to the TV set.
