TV1 problems re reception.

#Post
1

I am wrong side of 75 so bare with me.
We have 3 tv’s. Due to location in the house they all have their own aerial.
Last few days one lost sound and vision. Then another lost sound only. The third now lost vision only but has sound!
I need the whole lot sorting out but until then Please can anyone give me advice. Thanks Baz.

Move one to a different antenna and see if the symptoms move .If the symptom move then you have a faulty TV

if they're all the same model i'd call that planned obsolescence or a faulty batch

Thanks....
UHF - 3 sets are: newest a 55” Samsung, then a 50” Samsung then an older 42” Panasonic.
Samsung’s have built in Freeview, the Panasonic has a Dish TV box.
Not easy to carry them into different rooms I am afraid.

Take one of the boxes and install on a different tv and see if that boxes problems are the same in the new room as the room it was in.

alnz15 - sorry but I cannot be bothered to ring such as TV 1 - I may not live long enough to get a reply!
Seriously though it was a nuisance but knowing it is not restricted to my home somehow makes it a lot easier to accept. Thanks to all replies.

Also Rotorua. UHF. TV1 has been locking, pixelating, no sound, no pic for the last week, actually off and on all year. Friday & Saturday no EPG on1 or 2 but all other channels fine
