Hi, I recently got a new TV (old one didn't have freeview hd) and now have HD but have noticed some HD channels are saying no signal. They all seem to be com 7 (and maybe com8) and show on the EPG. The aerial is high on the roof and seems to have two rods however all the neighbours have a single rod. The gent I bought the house from was 88 so it may not have been updated for sometime. Do you think the aerial may be the issue or that I am not in the right area (wn68ds) for com 7?
Cheers, Andy.

Hi Mike & Mike,
sorry for the delayed reply but didnt get a notification of your comments so just found it when re looking.

I think the tv should be fine as like you say I am getting other hd channels but its a panasonic TX-50CX700B. I'm not sure what aerial it is but I don't think its wide band.

Just done a signal check and 31 is 0 signal quality and flashes on and off between 0- 52% signal strength. 37 has 100% signal quality and 30% signal strength and 49 has 100% signal quality and 94% signal strength.

Thanks.

Hi Mike,
Well I changed the aerial lead and it worked!

I've got all the com7 channels now although the signal still isnt great - 50% signal quality and 9% signal strength.

But the picture is fine, no freezing or cutting out.

Thanks Mike!
