Hi, recently retuned my tv after moving my room about. the tv now doesnt pick up Dave or E4+1. the tv has only moved a matter of feet so surely this cant be the reason why i no longer have these channels?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks, but unfortunately i have tried all of the above including the full first time installation procedure. The manual tune on the 658 frequency did not pick up any channels but said there was a signal strength of 78%. this signal strength is common throughout all the other channels such as bbc and itv.

I will try the full factory reset again and if failing i will move the tv back to where it was to see if it's the tv's position causing the problem. Thanks!

JB, Thanks again, the full restore did not work. i cannot receive channels 11 or 82 either. my post code is G75 9JX.

You are right though i did have to buy an extension aerial lead. i have checked it for physical damage and have seen none. is there any way of proving the lead?

JB, I have recently retuned my TV without the extension aerial in the tv's original position and have managed to find all the channels that were previously missing. Will i be able to return the lead for a refund or exchange and could you please recomment a solution, as to wither a different lead will work or not?

Thanks!

Dave, thanks, i have run it well away from any cables that might induce interference such as mains cables.
The only other thing that i think may be causing the problem is that the signal is being lost through the lead as it is a 10m extension although most of it is coiled up? Do you think this may be causing the problem?

Thanks!

Hmmmm, there appears to be a small break internally, as the extension is now partly working. when the cable is moved slightly near the plug end, the signal appears and reappears. unfortunately i dont have a multimeter at home to test for continuity. this may be the problem guys, thanks!
