jb38 A light tap with a magazine either side of the tv with headphones plugged in breaks up the sound but not the picture. Will endeavour to check the aerial connections.

I've suddenly lost the ARQA muliplex on UHF 46 using Bilsdale on my living room aerial but I can still get it on my bedroom aerial. All of the other multiplexes are as normal. The aerial was installed in 1996, it is still in perfect condition and it has a black cap on it, so it must be a wideband aerial. I am in Peterlee and the post code is SR8 2JU.

Steven Huntington: Seeing as it's a wideband aerial, can you turn it, or have it turned, to face Pontop Pike instead?

It's not possible because of the shape of the block of flats that I live in, I hope this is the result of high pressure and it will go away when the weather changes.

Steven Huntington : When you refer to bedroom aerial and living room aerial are you meaning one aerial with two outlet positions? or are they separate aerials?
If you mean the former, then check what happens when you try your bedroom TV on the living room aerial, if the bedroom stops working then a problem exists with the feed to the living room socket, if though it does work in a fashion then this means that the signal level your devices are operating on is too low and requires boosting as the TV normally used in the living room is fitted with a less sensitive tuner than that used in the bedroom TV.
If on the other hand you are referring to different aerials? then why don't you just purchase a 2 way powered splitter and feed the bedroom TV's aerial into the splitters common input, and with one output from the splitter being run to the living rooms TV and the bedroom TV itself using the splitters other output.
Of course you should really test the signal strength being received at the two outlet positions on mux Ch46 by entering the tuning menu / manual tune and entering Ch46 but NOT followed by pressing search, as on most equipment the level the signal is being received at should be indicated, this test enabling a comparison to be made between the two outlet positions.
The bedroom TV being used for this test on both outlet points.
