Thanks for replies but I really want my freeview to work so I dont have to have extra cables.
It's working great upstairs don't understand why not downstairs or could it maybe be a weak tuner on the tv?

No its not a weak tuner it is most likely as I stated earlier poor quality unshelded parts on the downstairs feed, either socket, fly lead, connectors down stairs or as that rooms feed joins the distribution, if the cabling downstairs is external then that would be the most likely culprit as it is open to the elements and if poorly shielded/damaged much more likely to be effected by motorbikes.

thanks kurtis_blue

Changing the aerial has definitely helped as before i had no signal at all.

How do i go about checking the parts? cables are internal from the loft. all the same sort of cable etc

p.s. the motorbike problem was upstairs never noticed it downstairs

As a test, run a length of new WF100 coaxial cable down the stairs to bypass the existing wiring. This will prove whether the wiring is at fault.

yeh my friend has suggested plugging the cable for the lounge straight into the aerial so i will try this tonight. luckily they are labeled in the loft! :j
