In London, Uk. I have poor reception of channel 5. have got recently a one for all powered aerial. how do I set it up? Model sv-9140-00-002

  • paulmartin01 Mar 17, 2008

    I have heard conflicting ideas now. How does a set top box improve the channel 5 signal if my present aerial only gets a poor channel 5 picture?
    thanks,

    Paul.

Your reception would be much improved by using a free to air digital set top box - only about £20. If you are in east London especially near docklands channel 5 reception with a conventional aerial gives a lot of problems. sv-9140-00-002 is an interior aerial booster - I doubt whether this will improve things much. Best solution is a good outside aerial - if you live in flats is there no communal aerial available?

Why can't it receive BBC123, itv1234, channel 4 5 quest?

We had a problem recently when our tv reception went for a burton - in spite of our local Waltham transmitter being almost visible, having a new mobile phone mast switched on just a stone throw away meant lots of channels disappeared and many of what remained were unwatchable.
I contacted Freeview and they put me in touch with an organisation whose job it is to sort out reception problems of this type. They offered to send an engineer or provide a filter if I could fit it - fortunately I could access the aerial downlead in the attic and the device cured most of the channels but not all.

Unless your tv has a tuner problem, it is almost certainly either an aerial fault or an interference problem, however it should be borne in mind too much signal can produce the same problems as insufficient signal - digital reception is like that...

The first thing to do is disconnect the aerial downlead from the tv and carry out a factory reset or initial installation selected from the main memory. This should clear the station memory. Reconnect the aerial and repeat the reset.
If your stations are still absent, testing the aerial with a different tv is probably the next best step...

We can't get any reception at all with our LCD 23-231BB-G after moving to London. Using a One for All aerial SV9215 which had always been fine before. Re-tuning shows 0% signal strength. Any ideas? Tx

Yeah, you are getting lousy reception. If your antenna is directional re direct it to the direction of the stations you want to receive the most. Get an antenna amp to boost signals. Get a good directional antenna and mount as high as possible on mast for best signal reception. Make sure you have nada in the way of antenna and stations for best results.

Samsung phone won't stay connected to 3g why

Either you are in a poor reception area, or you have gsm only connected or your aerial on the phone is not making a proper connection due to recent water ingress or attempted dismantling.
you should be able to check 3G reception for your area over the Internet google 3G your location to ascertain if you get good coverage, if you do then it's probably the phone carrier settings, if they are correct then I would consider physical connection of aerial in phone.it is possible to add an aerial foil to improve reception in some phones or change carrier.

How do I get my channels ITV 3, 4 5 + 6 back on my PVR Humax 9300T

You are going to need to have your aerial adjusted, it's getting conflicting signals. I have a Humax in London, not until recently was this sorted out by repositioning the aerial to the strongest signal.

Problems on the freeview 21inch Tv Teknica from Tesco was working when we bought it 2 years ago cannot get all the channels and poor reception re installed channels many many times but does not maintain...

Hi,
you may want to try changing the coaxial aerial cable that feeds the tv, these can go faulty. also if you are running a series of tvs off one aerial, you should be using an aerial booster, other wise you will get a signal drop (as displayed on your tv).
If these small things don't cure it, the set requires replaceing as the tuning card is knackered

I have just moved house to Reading and previously was able to view freeview tv using my old indoor aerial in my 2nd floor flat in london. This indoor aerial didn't pick up any signals, not even analogue,...

You will need to have an outdoor aerial installed, the signal area you're now living in will not be a strong enough reception for an indoor aerial no matter how good or expensive. You could try the indoor aerial in different positions around the room especially by a window to try & pick up some other channels but the long term this will cause some of the programmes to break up or freeze. An aerial on the roof or in the attic will be your best solution to pick up all the digital channels on freeview.

Tv-- signal strength normal but signal on all channels "blipping" down intermittently causing freezing of picture. Have replaced aerial with high gain antennae together with aerial cable and...

When ever the picture freezes intermittendly the problem is usually poor connection on the signal line (antenna or connection on tv) or poor reception. Could be the tuner if the tv has one.To eliminate the tuner possibility try anther tv set if possible.
If you still cannot figure out the problem,let me know what kind of set up you have connected to your tv set.
Do you have a satellite or cable box and if you have splitters.

No sound

Go into the TV Menu and access the sound settings, for the UK it would normally be set to I. This MAY need to be changed to a different setting. Try the options that are listed. Might fix it!!
