the copper mesh shit was touching the main core in my first attempt.

Then I tidied it up and the signal cleared.

have you checked the cables?

I did a bad job of putting the connector on my aerial cable last night and signal was awful.

I re-did it and now it's perfect.

Cheers the individual booster sounds more like what I'm after trying.

Seems silly that they have a couple of crappy small Goodmans flat screens, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom again connected to the same aerial and there signal is fine :lol:

Does the booster have to go in attic/near the aerial? Can you get anything that just plugs in to the aerial socket by the TV

I've got a big aerial in the attic, then I plug that direct into the booster which is a 6 TV distributor so then I have a cable out of each socket running down to each room :thumbs:

EDIT: You can get individual boosters tho that just plug into power near your TV. Take a look at Argos, they're cheap.

Same as that - our original Viera was shit back in the day till we got everything revised.

Having said that my new LG 37" TV at the misses works of a cheap £5 indoor aerial from Tesco.

I'm assuming it's a proper actual aerial, i.e loft/roof installed aerial? And as Sam says, the Samsung one may have an aerial/firmware issue.

Do these modern TV's buffer signal playback?

Could try a booster, not that I rate them that much but if the signal is just a little weak it might work :)

I might be stating the obvious, but maybe the tuner on the Sony is better than the one on the Samsung? Or the Samsung might need a firmware update to fix said issue?

Got 2 newish TVs at my Uncle & Aunties. One is a Sony 37" in the snug, the other is a Samsung 40" in the lounge. So both in different rooms but they are running off the same aerial.

The Samsung sometimes struggles to pick up ITV & C4 and if it does it only lasts for a minute or 2 before the picture starts pixelating & breaking up. The Sony picks the signal up no problem. The Sony used to be in the lounge where the Samsung now is & it was fine in there too.

Any ideas what's wrong?
