Hi,

I am experiencing occasional signal breakup and freezing on my Samsung TV.
I have 100% signal strength and quality & Full Fibre 500+ Mbps broadband.
Any suggestions?

    Are the images from something you are streaming, satellite or aerial?
    If streaming then what else is your broadband doing at thew time?
    Is this your main TV or one that is being fed a signal from your main TV?

    Aerial via Youview box
    I have superfast Broadband, so I doubt that is an issue
    Main TV fed direct from aerial

    I have replaced aerial cables

    Is it definitely tuned into the best transmitter?
    Has 5G been commissioned in your area lately (if so you may need a suppressor or different aerial).

    Have you run the latest TV update? Could be a software issue, but check the TV settings, as it may be signal interference outside your setup. See if it does the same with other TV's in the house.

    I had a similar problem with a TV showing 100% signal strength. Cured it by buying a (cheap) signal attenuator to go on the aerial plug.

    DUPLICATE and in the wrong place.

    It's also in Techie Stuff where it belongs.
