I only use my Thomson PVR for recording as I have a new digital smart TV. On the initial switchover the BBC channels when viewed/recorded on the PVR were freezing and the sound was breaking up. Now since the final switchover all channels are the same. Purchased an attenuator as someone suggested the signal may now be too strong but that doesn't work either. Anyone have an easy remedy? I have just retired and I am now using my equipment more and this is most annoying, so much for the 'easy switchover'.

Remove the attenuator. Most modern equipment does not need them. Try rescanning for new channels. It could be the power supply going faulty. This is the most common cause of Thomson freeview box problems (about 90%). They are on Ebay for between £10 - £25. Or take it to a tv engineer for testing/repair. Have you had your aerial checked to see if its suitable for digital? The new aerials are wide band more suitable for the digital frequencies used.
