    ITV and C4 do work in the bedroom still so that might be it, I'm guessing I will need to venture into the loft to look for a splitter/amplifier. Not been up there yet...

    ITV SD and C4 SD use same multiplexes (Multiplex PSB2) and HD use (Multiplex PSB3) basically share the same digital frequencies so either it works or doesn't


    I would make sure the aerial socket is clean of paint could be a bad connection or aerial

    Thank you! It does! I think the decorators may have got the paint in there; it works! No itv or channel 4, but that could be down to the weather? They worked upstairs but I haven't had a chance to check as I had to go out an buy a new shower screen, head and hose (home ownership is fun right? Because our fence has blown down now too!)

    But first check the loft space for an amplified splitter that has been switched off. Or a disconnected cable to the living room point as the previous owners only used satellite?

    May be worth replacing/removing that plate connection from the equation if other things look OK? Then double-check the loft connections/plugs are made off properly.
