Why am I experiencing audio gaps or black flashes on the BBC HD channel on Freeview?

We are aware that some Integrated Digital TVs may experience gaps in sound whilst viewing the BBC HD channel on Freeview. We are trying to resolve this issue with the manufacturer. We would advise you to contact your manufacturer on this issue.

In relation to black flashes this is caused by some Integrated Digital TVs reacting to a change between the HD display modes transmitted, normally designed to improve display quality.
