TV bods,help with freeview
We have an LG tv with but in freeview and pretty much every time a car passes the flat the signal goes funny and pixilated. I don't have access to the roof space for the aerial and have currently fitted a signal booster. Any ideas? I have tried a indoor aerial but with little joy

Re: TV bods,help with freeview
Try unplugging any hdmi cables from the tv. They can interfere with freeview signals. I have to unplug my pc's hdmi if I want to watch freeview. And make sure the aerial cable to the tv isn't next to other cables if possible

Re: TV bods,help with freeview
Signal boosters also boost the noise aspect of a poor signal, degrading a bad signal. If you can't get to the main aerial, I'd try a small outside aerial.
If you've got a poor signal inside, there's little you can do without outside help. Pete

Re: TV bods,help with freeview
I knew that the booster could also boost the poor signal without improving the signal quality. I only have hdmi connected for ps4 xbox. I will have to look into an outdoor aerial.

Re: TV bods,help with freeview
Get a ferrite ring and put it as far up the cable as you can, as close to the signal booster as you can. Could be as simple as that to fix.
