Hi, I've recently moved to with in approx. 1 mile of the kings weston and from what I can gather this is where my ariel is pointing towards (half of the others in my street also point this way, the other half point towards (I think) the transmitter) I have two ariel sockets and have tried two different televisions in each socket but cannot pick up any through either socket. Does any one have any ideas of what the problem might be? I don't want to call out an engineer if I can it!

Thanks

Antony

Thanks for your quick reply JB38.

I have followed the from the ariel on the in to the and then down into the bedroom where one of the sockets is located. There is no sign of any being used in the loft as the cable is one continuous length.

I have removd the socket from the wall in the lounge and there is a cable attached to it. I'm assuming this is some how connected to the socket / cable in the bedroom as there is only one cable in the loft.

I have tried to remove the socket in the bedroom to see if it is conncted correctly but there isn't enough slack to get a good look.

I'm guessing either the ariel is broken (is this possible? is there much that can go wrong with them?) or the cable has unattached itself from the ariel on the roof. Either way I think I'm going to have to call out a specialist. Can anyone recommend anyone in the Bristol area?

Thanks

Antony
