I live in on Sea LN12 2JB and are suffering from /sound break-up on Sky news plus a few other e.g. 23, 85 etc. I have a BT box. I have three tv's in the bungalow all are are affected. I have a in the .

I fitted a new 3 years ago with heavy duty cabling, it has been fine until the last few weeks. I have retuned the tv's and the BT box, I have checked all plugs and connectors in the loft. The aerial is pointing to the as are all others around us. is the closest .

I get Lincs/East Yorkshire tv channels. When I retune, most channels show maximum strength, some are 90%.

Any suggestions I might try now ?

Thanks Chris, Yes we are still experiencing the same problem, I have tried disconnecting each tv in turn and disconnecting the box, all to no avail. I have not checked the uhf / set up, I will try it today.

The coax I used is thicker than the cheap brown stuff and still in perfect condition. The runs are long as we have a large bungalow. 25 metres from head to amplifier and then 20 metres to the lounge tv. however it was working fine since instalation until recently.

I suppose water in the aerial head box is possible even though we live in the driest side of the country. The is 12ft long and mounted on the side of the apex of the bungalow. The aerial has 10 cross shaped elements and two grid like panels, one above the beam and one below, angled slightly inwards.

I am almost 80 so unable to get up to check it for water damage. I do have a small aerial on the shed which serves a small tv .................................. Chris what a muppet I am !!! Why didn't I think to check the that are breaking up on that aerial/tv before, I have not used it for a year or so.

I have been and checked and they are perfect ! So I guess that means it is my aerial connection is faulty.

I will have to get a aerial installer to check it out.

I am grateful for your advice and, at least I have checked out my whole system is okay.

It ain't any fun getting old Chris :-)

Regards
