Any TV engineers

Hi Guys

I bought a digital TV with built in Freeview for the bedroom to replace my existing CRT that I used with a freeview digibox I dont have a digital aerial but have a booster and picked up all the freeview channels fine.


Initially I plugged my boosted aerial into the new TV but the signal was not strong enough to be able to watch BBC 1 BBC 2 ITV 1 Channel 4 Channel 5 ITV2 and BBC3.

So I reconnected my digibox but still cannot view these progs ( picture is pixalised and keeps jumping about or just displays a red dot.

Is it likely to be the TV set or do I need to get a digital aerial

most likely the incoming signal m8

Aerial needs upgrading m8

have you tried setting it up in the living room, using the ariel for the main tv ? or try in someone elses house, that should give you the answer.

There's no such thing as a digital aerial.

I can confirm Nara's post . No such thing as a digital aerial, just a con to make people spend more. Any aerial will do as long as the signal is strong enough, if not try adjusting the position of the aerial.

NO such thing as a digital aerial but if your's is crap and old it might be worth upgrading to a high gain aerial, you can get them cheap enough from places like Screwfix or Toolstation.

i got a cheap one from wilkinsons last year for my daughters bedroom, laid it down on top of the old water tank in the loft, pointing in the right direction & works perfect. £12.
