I have now lost all signal can you tell me what the problem might be?
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV The problem could be one of:
- the aerial has been moved or damaged;
- the cables or connectors that connect the digibox to the aerial are damaged;
- the digibox has broken.
If you have a "spare" digibox you use this to test the aerial connection. Can you still watch analogue TV OK?

Hi im in liverpool and my freeview signal has gone since 2pm yesterday.
I have 2 tellys and have had to put up with the radio! I read that there is 4g testing when signal had gone but i think we should have been informed about this!

chantelle: The 800MHz 4G tests are being carried out in London and Brighton, so it's not likely to be your issue!!
Testing | at800
If your two televisions are served from the same aerial and the feed is split using a powered amplifier (booster) then the first suspect must be that the amplifier has failed. Be aware that just because its light is on, the device may have failed. I suggest that you try bypassing it by connecting the lead coming in from the aerial to one of the cables that run to one of your TVs. If it works then that suggests the amplifier is faulty.

Alec Clarke: I would not advocate cessation of payment of the TV Licence and use of receiving equipment or the viewing of live broadcasts online as this would be illegal.
The fact that you are seeing "white snow" suggests that you have an analogue tuner in there, somewhere. There are no analogue channels on the air any more, so unless your TV doesn't have a scart socket then the analogue shouldn't be used.
Whatever, the make and model of the devices (TV and boxes) you are using may be of assistance to us to guide you as to what to do.
Also, is this your own aerial which feeds just one TV?
