Since yesterday, lip sync on all Freeview HD Channels is wildly off! This is happening on both HD TVs in the house and they are different manufacturers.

Folks,

Freeview reception at 57.2001N -2.128E

Looking for some assistance. I recently had to change my TV amplifier/distributer in the loft. All is fine on all the channels with a strong signal other than the services on channel/mux 29 which has very week signal. This scenario is the same on all TVs and I have reset all.

thanks in advance

PAUL CROZIR: If the signal strength is very high, the tunes in your TVs may be suffering from signal overload. Try turning down the gain on the amplifier a little.

StevensOnln1: Thanks for your reply. Would the overload just effect the services on the channel 29 - everything on Multiplex COM6 - ARQB - Arqiva B. The othesr are all fine.

PAUL CROZIR: Signal overload can affect just one multiplex if that multiplex is being received at a slightly higher strength than the others.

DAVID COLLINGS: The transmitter was probably taken off air by the same power cut. By retuning you have deleted all of your channels which were correctly tuned (retuning will never fix a lack of signal and generally just makes things worse). If you can, check with a neighbour who hasn't retuned to find out if the transmitter is back on air, then retune again and your channels should be restored.

My TV was working fine until last night most of the channels went missing. I thought it was because of heavy rain during the day so I tried retuning/'first time installation' a few times but it didn't resolve the problem. The auto retune only picks up multiplex channel 29, which is 5 channels: London Live, True Crime, True Movies, Tiny Pop, POP Max. Nothing else is found. The TV is brand new and was working absolutely fine so I don't think it is a hardware or aerial problem. Signal coverage in my area, south London, is also fine. Any help would be much appreciated!

George: By retuning you have deleted all of the channels which were correctly tuned, making the problem far worse as retuning will never fix a sudden loss of signal. Have you checked for any loose or damaged cables or connections? The problem is almost certainly something within your aerial system as you are most likely receiving the Crystal Palace transmitter which covers most of London and there would be hundreds of people complaining if it wasn't working.

George:

A full post code is essential for problems such as you describe. Only then can we contributors examine what the local reception conditions are in your specific area - South London is far too vague to tell us anything.

What you describe is typical of an aerial problem, commonly due to poor contacts in the plugs/sockets or a poorly fitted coaxial plug. So you need to disconnect all the aerial plugs and then refit them. Sadly as you have retuned you have lost all the tuning information your TV set already had, so you will need to do another retune. It is always wrong to retune when the signal is lost.

Just because a TV is 'brand new' does not mean it cannot have a fault and aerial systems can have faults that are not visible, especially if it is mounted outside above the roof.

If the problem was not within your property but at the transmitter, there would be millions of complaints from axcross the whole of London and beyond, Crystal Palace serves over 6 million people!
