    Is there a way that I can test the TV aerial socket in the room I need it in has any signal getting to it?


    Yeah, plug a TV or STB into and see if the channels work. If not, do a retune. You've a 32 inch TV which hopefully will be 'portable' enough.

    Have you checked the routing of the cables to see where they go (after the amplifier)?
  • So, another update.

    I bought an internal aerial, and the TV found some channels - so the problem is definitely the cable coming from the amplifier... I think I'm going to have to just take out all the old cables and put new ones in.

    Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions, its very much appreciated.
