Below are all of Mazbar's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Ian are there any trees between the way your aerial faces and the transmitter if it is clear take your aerial out of your set top box or tv whatever it goes into direct to look for rust or a milky white . Rust or the white mean water get it see to straigth away as water and electricty dont mix. If it is trees there are two options one is to go over them with a big mast the cheaper option is to go under them into the trunks of the trees they dont move and you have less break up. Or you can get freesat.

Wen from the sound of it you do have a problem with your aerial. Do you have any trees in line with the way your aerial points, if there isn't check your tv aerial plug if it comes straight from your aerial with no plates or box's if it is damp or has rust or a milky white substance call a aerial rigger you do have a problem with your aerial.

Briantist if you can ban adverts a simpe question for you. If your mother or daughter or grandmother lived the other side of the country and said that there aerial had come down would you tell your loved one to go to action aerial or would you tell them not to touch them with a 10ft barge pole ?.

Yes sorry brian i might have over reacted , i have never seen bad work by action aerials but what i have seen is action aerials fitting aerials that are a bit over the top, say an area that will give a good 62 dbuv of an rx12 aerial they fit something like a unix52 on a 1 1/4 inch pole and then charge over the odds this is the problem a lot of riggers have with them the other problem we have with them is when they try to pass themself off as a local firm

Kb have a nice cup of tea and a sit down they make my blood boil too but if you let it get to you the stress will kill you. What you should do when you see these aerials in the wrong place put a letter through the letter box explaining that they could have a far neater job done for a reasonable price, dont knock as most people find this very offputing. Ps went to a job today 9" wall bracket on Chimney held up with 2 bolts yes it was 8 pots but 1 lashing still went around ok at least i got a job and the customer got a very good job done.

Andy do an auto retune on your lg with the aerial out this will find no channels when the tune is finished plug the aerial back in and then do a manual tune in , if this works try it with you pvr.
