Appauling TV reception

Slime101 · 30 Jan 2007 at 18:35

Over the past few weeks we've been having real problems getting TV reception, it seems to be affecting both analogue and digital signals which have gone completely to pot :mad:

I've tried a booster and whilst it helps i can still only get a few watchable channels.

Is anyone else in the south having this problem and is there anything i can do?

I've always had poor signals where I am because the hospital causes major interference :mad:

Might be time for a new aerial or cabling, damp might have got into the cable or the connection up on the roof might have weakened.

Or in all the wind over the past few weeks, the aerial might have been knocked around quite a bit. Our one at home was.

I get an awful signal here in Dorset. I can't even get BBC channels

I actually get half the multiplexes on Freeview, and the one's i get aren't that well received either!

I spose i'll have to get up on the roof and check the aerial.
