Possibly need an ariel upgrade m8 yeah.

What signal strangth do you have when you do a channel scan?

Where is your ariel located, in the loft or on the roof?

You have put the tv on to the DTV setting?
 
Its likely that the set has both digital and analogue tuners in it and you are watching the analogue tuner. What set its it and do you have any old aerial amplifiers in the lift? also what area do you live in?

I was wondering the same thing, make sure the TV is set to digital channel before tuning
 
right thats me tryed a scan,it dose give me the opp of digital or anolog. iv tryed a scan on both of them together and on their own. im not getting any digital ones,and only the normal 12345..

i live in wet london area...
 
Normaly if you get a good reception on ch 5 analog you get the digital reception ok. Re read the instructions m8 its probably something youve missed
 
could i use my old virgin cable that i hav running into the house,insteade off a normal areal.
 
Is there more than one aerial input on the rest of the set, one for digital and one fo r analogue? you should be able to pick up digital with any aerial
 
na their is only the one in put..
ill prob just get booster tomoro and see if that helps..
 
if your getting channels 1-5 then you are watching tv on your analogue tuner.
there should be a button on your tv which says tv/dtt or a buton that says dtt. press that...

ps. if you live in a flat with a comunal ariel system. it may not be possible to receive digital channels.
