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

 

does not switch 
between digital TV 
and an analogue 
channel.

Some makes of TV may not 
recognise this feature.
