We have two identical old style aerials in the loft both identically orientated. One linked to upstairs TV directly by a cable through the ceiling while the other is linked to the downstairs TV by a long cable hidden in the wall then passing through two connectors to extend across the room. Upstairs TV is OK on all channels. For the downstairs TV the ceefax 284 test showed BBC1 and C4 to be OK, but BBC2 and ITV are no good. Do we definitely need a new aerial or a new single piece shorter coaxial cable? Everything was OK up until this week.
