Hi, my in-laws bought a new digital tv yesterday to replace an older tv and set top box with a larger screen. This was the only reason for the new purchase.
The reception on the new tv is awful and constantly pixelated. The image on the old tv was fine, even in the bad weather.
The only thing that has changed is the TV, any ideas please?

JB38: The new TV is a Samsung UE40F5000AK. Is it likely that the problems with reception are down to receiving too high a signal strength from the Dover transmitter? From what I can see from this website the straight line of sight to the transmitter has no terrain constraints and therefore nothing but open fields between it and the aerial in the loft.
There is no amplifier in the system, just the aerial and wiring. Thanks for your help and hope you are having a good new year.
