EE box won’t play live TV

I’m having issues with EE TV box not playing live TV. I have EE TV box which does not have an aerial connection nor an ethernet cable connection. During the set up process the box 'found' 133 channels.

I can view anything via my apps so obviously there are no problems with the broadband speed , wifi or cable connections etc. However live TV does not work at all. I can see the guide with loads of channels but when I try to play one I just get a black screen initially which changes after some time to just a very heavily pixellated version of the screen with either no sound or an occasional squeak. Interestingly the black screen on BBC shows the green button in the top right hand corner but nothing else until the pixellated mess shows.

You only receive Live TV thro' an aerial. Otherwise it's just Catch-up or On Demand.
