Can anyone help.A few days ago I started losing channels on my tele tonight I have lost the lot this is on my big set downstairs. Still getting everything upstairs on my small set on which I have a new aeriel. Other set has old aerial ( at least 20 yrs) . When we bought this set few months ago we got all the channels on this old aerial. Will a new one sort this problem both aerials are in the loft.

Its freeview and I have tried rescanning a lot of times. Scanned again today and got some of the channels back but still a lot missing. Think it must be aerial.

Im afraid it is down to your aerial. It sounds like that your aerial needs re-alligned or maybe your getting too strong a signal.. Depends on where abouts you are from the transmitter.

Thanks Moonboots. My problem must have been too strong a signal. I had a booster on my aerial thinking the stronger the signal the better the reception. I took this off and all channels are back. Saved scrambling around in the loft with a new aerial. Just hope my vintage model keeps picking all channels up.:lol::lol:

Bonami, Glad to hear your problem has been fixed. Yes boosters can cause alot of problems with signals. Sometimes they can provide too strong a signal however they can also restrict the signal too..
