The picture
sometimes breaks
up into “blocks”.
(i) If you have other
devices connected
to your TV aerial,
there may not be
enough signal
strength for the set-
up.
(ii) Objects such as
trees, houses or
passing traffic may
be affecting the
signal quality.
(iii) Faulty
connectors or leads
may be affecting the
signal quality.
(iv) If the break-up is
temporary but often,
there may be
interference caused
by other electrical
items in your home.
(i) Try connecting your aerial directly
to your TV recorder. If this stops the
picture breaking up then there is not
enough signal strength to use
additional devices. Consider
improving your aerial or getting a
booster amplifier – consult your
retailer.
(ii) You may need to improve your
aerial installation – consult a
professional installation engineer.
(iii) Try new connectors/leads.
(iv) Consult a qualified electrician.
Pressing
tv/dtv

between digital TV

channel.
Some makes of TV may not
recognise this feature.
