Barry: check the aerial lead - if its damaged, then that can cause problems with certain muxes. They are very cheap to replace, so its an easy check.
A Sony TV will tend to have a fairly sensitive tuner, albeit one which is really robust with a high signal strength. So its possible that one set is just at the threshold of having a problem, whereas another is just below it.

Barry Elkington:
As MikeB intimates, different TV sets have tuners that vary in sensitivity. Sony tend to be quite sensitive and hence susceptible to overload if the signal is too strong. So that will be more affected by too much signal rather than the other set which is less sensitive.
On your strength bars, you want to be between the middle and about 3/4 of the way to the right. Further to the right is too strong and further to the left (lower) side is too weak.

Thank you all for your answers.
Having swapped the aerial cables between rooms it looks as though it is just the Sony tv that is the problem so we will just have to live with it.

You could try fitting an attenuator into the aerial lead feeding the Sony. They are avauilable from a number of sources including Maplins, RS, Amazon, etc and are quite inexpensive. Try a 6 dB one first and then check whether you can get all the channels again. If not then check the signal strengths of the 'missing' channels again. If they are still to strong try adding a 3 dB in series, but if they are too weak replace the 6 dB with a 3 dB. You could try a variable attenuator but they are nbot always reliable in my experience.

Re Channel 5 USA on Freeview channel 21.
Since 14/05/2019, this has been unwatchable as there has been no sound and extremely broken picture, consisting of small rectangles and squares. I have retuned my television, but this has made no difference. Is this a known problem.

David Moir: It's impossible for anyone to say whether there is a known fault as you haven't said where you are or which transmitter you're using (please provide a full postcode). Also, retuning will never fix a fault like this as your TV was already correctly tuned (by retuning you're just deleting the channel list and searching for them again, which can often make the problem worse). Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections behind your TV?

Thanks for replying. Sorry about not providing enough information. I live in Bearsden, just outside Glasgow. My postcode is G61 2BJ.
The cables and connections are all O.K.
There is now no picture or sound on Channel 5USA. Other channels are fine.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am trying to find an email contact (UK) for 5USA Ch.21 to ask them a simple question as follows:-
I have become a strong fan of the splendid Hospital Drama "Grey's Anatomy" which used to be shown usually at 10pm or sometimes at 9pm etc. Now suddenly without any warning nor explanation the programme has been shunted to midnight and later. Most of us cannot stay up that late and some like myself have no means to record it to watch it in the daytime.
Can you give me an email address for them or answer my question yourself.
Many thanks,
Kind regards,
Captain David Bowley
