m friend has bt vision and cannot access bbc2 which number get bbc2
I have a BT Vision box but have had to disconnect it because it interferes with ALL channels.
The picture is pixilated for periods at a time. I have heard a loud clicking from the box attached to the mains supply and believe this to be the cause.
At times the channels will be classed as unavailable and it tells me to check my connections. The root cause is the Vision box.
Now that the Vision supply is disconnected the Reception is good.
