carolyn george: I did also mean to add. That if the lead from your aerial passes through your set top box recorder and then into your TV?, check if anything changes by "not" placing the set top box in standby, as some set top boxes of the recording variety have an "eco" power saving mode in standby which kills the aerial loop through (in / out) facility, although in strong signal areas such as your own might only partially reduce the level of the signal being passed through to the TV, reception of sorts still being possible albeit with continual picture / audio glitches.

jb38 Tyvm for your reply yes all the people I have had her have seen the problem I am having .I have just spoke to freeview and they can only suggest what I have already done ,I then spoke to 4g who are going to send filter but as that as already been done I doubt that will solve problem.As for my neighbours no one else has problems as they all have dishes outside there house or are on vigin or sky .I want to give up but then again I need to be able to watch my tv so I guess I am having to call yet another tv man and hope that someone with good knowledge turns up .but ty for your reply x :

All channels were there on Monday but since yesterday we can't tune in anything. Tv seems ok (it has embedded Freeview), aerial too. I thought maybe some maintenance work could be the issue? but there doesn't seem to be any. We live in the Hotwell area.
Any suggestion will be very much appreciated.

Ale: Does the TV say 'no signal'? If so, thats what it is, and you can check at the top of the page for the status of the transmitter. If its working, then your system isn't.
