Is my TV broken and in need of replacement ?

badmemory

I too have lost most of the channels on my TV but I too still have thats tv..  Luckily my hard drive still works.  So it definitely isn't the aerial.  But mine went a few months ago.

a new tv was plugged in but the issue sill remains. I'm thinking is an external ariel .Is the landlord responsible for that as the  flat is rented from social housing

Im afraid im going to have to give up on this and try to source a new tv at the weekend . I have trued tuning it and no difference

I guess it is perhaps older than 5 years but it definitely receives no channels via internet.wifi, it plugs into the wall via a white cable . does that go to an aerial ?

This isnt the first time in the past few years that there has been bad weather so im not convinced it is weather related. In addition when the smaller pocket tv was used to test  via plugging it into the wall , the pocket TV worked fine

Only the channel called Thats TV is working all others are not but i dont know why

If it's not too late I'd check with the Freeview advice line that there's not work going on at your transmitter.

Hello can i ask for more advice on this issue, we got a new TV but the same issue is happening again i.e the only channel that is coming through with no problems is one called "thats TV", all the others are fuzzy

When you say fuzzy do you still mean the pictures are breaking up in some way?

How many channels show up as having been stored when you scan/tune?

Sounds ike a bad signal through your aerial, try checking all of your connections on the aerial cable starting with the most accessible.(The plug into the back of the tv first) 
I thought my aerial was at fault but found it was the fly lead from the aerial at the back of my tv.

Over 100 are stored but there is only that one specific channel that i can clearly see the picture, this has happened with 2 tvs now. Im in a 4 storey block of flats.

All the pictures for 99+ other channels are breaking up?

Yes, it is only one that has a clear watchable picture which i find odd

Odd it is. 

What make and model is your new TV?
