Hi. All day we have had problems with the with numerous messages on screen saying signal is weak. This has happened on more than one t.v.
Is there a reason for this as there are numerous similar reports on Facebook from people suffering the same weak signal messages.
Thank you.

Derrick Feist : It's quite likely to be due to the current weather conditions, which cause radio to travel further than normal, so you may well be suffering with from distant transmitters which wouldn't normally be receivable, which broadcast on the same frequencies as the you're trying to receive.
