TV signal interference - intermittent

Mee

Hi All,

Just want to check whether I have a TV or signal problem. I rely on Freeview and have experienced reception problem in the last few days. The picture breaks up, occasional no signal/black/blank screen for a few seconds, sound break up etc - all intermittent and worse when watching C133-136. I re-tuned via auto-set up and still experience the same problems. I noticed when re-tuning that some channels were listed as Quality 9 (BBC esp) and some (such as 133) Quality 4. My Panasonic Viera TV (from JL) is a few years old.

I note that G4 is expected to cause interference, but that's some time away?

Thank you

Check your aerial with another TV.

Have you had a look at your aerial setup to see if it's moving due to wind?
Another possibility is trees close to your house blocking the signal slightly (unlikely at this time of year as this usually happens when the trees are heavily laden with leaves.)

With the picture totally dropping out and not just pixelating, it does sound like an aerial or downlead problem.

Thanks, unfortunately, I don't have another TV.

Thanks. I live in an apartment block. I suspect some work has been done on the roof... judging by a discussion with another resident. Will check with other as to whether they are experiencing problems. Probably should have done this first...
