We have been away on holiday for a week and on return my mother's TV signal has deteriorated markedly. In addition the subtitles on which she relies as she is deaf are now complete gobbledy gook. She bought the TV three months ago and although the picture wasn't brilliant it was acceptable and we were told it would improve when we go digital. The TV has integral Freeview but at present she only receives four channels (we can't get Channel 5 in this area)through the analogue aerial. We rang Currys from where she purchased the TV and they guided us through retuning though I could have done this myself and the picture/subtitles did not improve. They then told us we would have to ring LG who would be able to help. Went through the same procedure with LG ie retuning though I told them we'd already done this. We were told there was nothing to be done as there was nothing wrong with the TV and that the reception had probably deteriorated because of work being done in preparation for digital switchover. The TV is now totally useless to my mother because of the lack of subtitles on which she totally relies and also because of the awful picture. Is there any solution to this problem or will she just have to do without TV until switchover?

Ann Tait: If analogue reception has deteriorated to the point that the text services no longer work it is doubtful if digital reception will be acceptable. Is it possible to check with a neighbour to see if they have good analogue reception? The Digital UK postcode checker predicts 100% reception for that postcode, so I would suggest having the aerial, cable and connectors checked. Are there any trees in leaf growing in the signal path? Also if there is any amplification on the aerial make sure the power supply is powered up.

Thanks for your reply. I live next door to my mother and have a very old TV in the bedroom which is receiving perfect analogue reception. The lady who lives in the flat above my mother has had no change in picture quality in the week we have been away. I don't understand why this problem should arise during a week in which she has not used the TV. It was perfectly acceptable when we left but on return the clock had reset itself to factory settings but as I have said previously retuning has made no difference to the problem. Who would I have to call in to check the aerial, cable and connectors as you suggest? There are no trees in the signal path. Unfortunately I don't know what you mean by making sure the power supply is powered up if there is any amplification on the aerial and in fact don't know how to tell whether if there is amplification on the aerial. As you have probably gathered I am not very knowledgeable in this area! Any further help would be appreciated as I just don't know what to do for the best as my mother is 89 and depends on her TV for entertainment.

Ann Tait: Is there only one aerial on the building, or is there an aerial for each flat?

Your mother's situation may be like mine, that there is one aerial, the aerial cable comes in to one flat and is then split via an active splitter between the TV in that flat, and a cable running to the other flat. (I rent a converted terrace.) If that's the case, ask the upstairs neighbour to check that the powered splitter is still plugged in, and that it's working.

Some powered splitter equipment automatically reverts to bypassing on the first socket if the power supply fails or is unplugged. If this equipment does this, the neighbour may still have excellent reception.

You're only 5km away from the transmitter and it's fairly powerful for a relay, so signal strengths could still be high enough to use a passive, unpowered splitter instead. They could be high enough to get a distinguishable, though not perfect, picture without the aerial.

If there is one aerial per flat, or the splitter is passive or a powered splitter is definitely working, check that all cables are properly connected and that the cable is making proper contact with the connector. If there is a separate aerial, ensure it is pointing in roughly the same direction as the other and that it appears to be intact.

Thanks for your reply. My mother has her own aerial. However there has been a development since my last post. I decided to disconnect the booster which had been fitted by a qualified engineer a couple of months ago and found that the picture quality increased to what it had been before we went away and the subtitles are now OK. The channels were all over the place - could only get a couple but after some manual retuning I managed to get everything back to normal. Still don't understand what happened but hopefully all is OK now. Could have saved myself almost two hours on the phone to Currys and LG who were no help at all. Thanks for your trouble.

Reading the posts for Darley Dale area I am disappointed to find that after a long wait we will only get a reduced service
To receive more channels would I have to get a satellite dish or just re-position my aerial?
