Help all my TV's have gone off!!!

susi

All my TV's went off yesterday (had to go out to watch the BB final, sad I know!!!) they are all saying no signal which makes me think its the ariel???? I have looked up at the roof and everything seems the same as it was, nothing shouts out at me anyway, we have a booster in the loft so I went and had a look at that (not that I know what Im looking for but there didnt seem to be any wires out or anything) I will call someone out on Monday but I hate it as I havent a clue about these things and Im sure when they see I am a woman they blind me with science lol!!!! Any ideas before I call for reinforcements????????

yeah the mother in law dragged me over cos her freeview wasnt working, so i switched the plug on to the aerial booster LOL, they are obsessed with turning things off. they have a ancient video recorder and the fronts always flashing 00:00 annoys the hell outta me.

Thanks folks, just chcecked the booster downstairs, everything is plugged in and the red light is on

hmmm could be a coaxle problem does it run through the centre of the house, wheres the aerial come in? has it been cut by vandals, you have any high winds? call an aerial man out to have a look, the aerial may have moved only slightly but knocked your signal.

The arial comes in through the lounge and plugs into a booster box, I dont think anything has been cut. We havent had any high winds, just the really bad rain yesterday. I will look in the loca paper and call someone out on Monday, thanks for all your help
