Advice Please .Wehave two excellent Digital TV's running off the same High Definition aerial pointed to Rowbridge on the IOW...picture perfect, no problems. However, having just upgraded one, the pictures are breaking up ..... the dealer tells me that the existing TV's are already tuned in OK but the new one can't accept the best picture until Rowbridge is updated...correct ? I assumed that as both are working fine, a new one would be just as good ?

I live on the South Coast in the Rowridge transmitter area. We are not due to go fully digital until March sometime. However, a few years back we purchased a full Sony Digital TV and the aerial man sadi if he couldn't get a didtal picture there would be no chage...fair enough, and since that date we have been picture perfect...no problems. Just before Christmas, we needed to replace our small, portable TV in the conservatory (Doubles up in our touring caravan.) This too, has been fine, running off the same aerial. We replaced it with a 240/12 Volt Cello 22" with built in DVD. (The reason being that touring overseas in Europe I understand that 12volt would ensure that the DVD bit would work, which it wouldn't this year as we found out with the old set.) But, plugging in the new Cello, the picture keeps breaking up, due, according to the unhelpful manufactuers,that we 'are not on Digital yet.' Maybe...but why do our two existing TV's work just fine and not this new TV ? Have I been conned ?
