For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Not much info to go on there bluebird. How are you distributing the signal to different rooms? Scart, HDMI, RF,? Do you have a splitter system with built in signal booster? Are you using a youview box? did talk talk engineers set up the system for you? I would think that 3 tvs from one box or source is stretching it a bit, and may be compromising signal strength, particularly to the tv furthest away from the signal source. Modern tvs display connection lost messages when signal is weak or corrupted.
If your three TVs are fed from one aerial and the leads to each TV is taken off the main lead from the aerial then the signal strength is halved at each take off point. What you need is a signal booster off the aerial and individual leads taken from the signal booster to each TV. Having said that it should be the same at all times, not just after 2 hours.
Hopefully someone in the trade will give better advice than me.
