No signal or fragnting on TV

[merejeans]

Our picture on our TV screen is continually breaking upo, showing no signal or scrambled etc. We have Freeview an DVD recorder connected. Any thing we can do ourselves without calling out an engineeror getting new equipment? Any help most welcome

'fragnting'

What word did you mean to type here?

[dotty.]

mine was doing that over the last 3 days but it's given over doing it tonight. Good job really, wednesday night from 9 is NCIS, Law and Order and then Justified and so busy night!

fragmenting ? Test the aerial connection in the TV.

I have been getting similar problems on some Freeview channels. Those with a 4 in the name mainly. But the analogue channels are fine ! I shall miss that when they turn it off. Nothing to judge the digial performance against any longer.

Not a lot you can do. Check the connections/cable by eye, wriggle things about. Or use a different Freeview box to see if the problem is with the signal received or in the receiver.

we all have that and been going on for so long, even though we have complained to the local authority who installed this new system, perhaps best to get someone in.

You probably need a new aerial or the one you have is not correctly aligned.
Digital TV needs a stronger signal than the old analogue TV.Get an aerial technician to look at what you have at the moment.

Has your area had the digital switchover yet?

If not, it will improve when they do that. They boost the signal between ten and twenty times when the analogue ha been switched off.

If you are already fully digital, check that your aerial is pointing the same way as all your neighbours, and consider buying a booster.
