Louise - It is very easy, so long as you have a reasonable length of coax cable to work on. Just cut back to clean unrusted cable, and connect the wire in the middle to the middle prong and the mesh on the outside to the outside, MAKING SURE THEY DO NOT TOUCH; NOT EVEN ONE STRAND

But

1) This may well be landlord's responsibility

2) Don't you know anyone used to this stuff?

Best of luck.

Sam - the "Caps Lock" key is centre left of your keyboard.

Move whichever is easier to the other room and see if it is the set or the aerial feed that is the problem.

For any more help need to know what aerial you haave and how it conneccts to the TV; and your postcode.

If you plug in your postcode top right this site suggests spare channels.

Bill - you have a VERY strong signal - maybe too strong even without amplification.

Do any of your sets have built-in aerials? Try that, or just a wire into the coax plug.

Or buy an attenuator

if you don't know - what channels do you receive.

And what sort of aerial; rods sideways or up/down?

Peter/Lee - are your neighbours getting same?

If using amplifiers/boosters try without.

Are you finding channels when you retune, but not getting signal, or not finding anything?

Peter - what happens when you switch the sets around?

Rob O'Whit - from note above/below, seems 67 should not be in use at all now.

Have you asked neighbours? Or put your postcode in top right here?
