T.V. Reception Problem.

Morning all on this chilly breezy morning


I installed a new t.v. aerial outside on Friday for a couple that has just moved house. I could not get their t.v. to self tune on the freeview channels. The screen has just frozen and does not shown a self tuning progress bar, and just displays an error message asking me to wait for new channels to be found. It makes not progress at all. It is just frozen. A second t.v. of theirs does show signs of life as it tries to auto-seek new freeview channels. I had to leave at that point as the lady of the house was exhausted after her move and needed a quiet lie down.


Is there a method of re-booting the first t.v. to work, or is the tuning circuit faulty?


The new bungalow is located right next to a new supply transformer an the new estate is only 50 per cent occupied. I wondered if the higher Voltage may have possibly damaged the t.v's circuits boards.


Any help much appreciated.


Thanks,


Z.

  • You could try manual tuning. We often have to do that with our caravan as frequently different transmitters give different results with different channels.

    At home it's worse with FM (DAB is so poor quality I don't even make the effort) as they built a hill between us and the 'best' transmitter so I get some programs from Sutton Coldfield. some from Peterborough the odd one from Waltham and don't even try radio 4 but the local Fosse FM from Loughborough University is good even though we shouldn't get it. That's the problem on living on a flood plain!
