I live in Buckingham. I bought a new Panasonic TV and a new Sony DVD/Recorder in July 2010. I had a new aerial installed. They seemed to work perfectly until the end of Dec when the DVD stopped picking up the signal from all channels except BBC1 and BBC2. The TV works perfectly when the DVD is switched off but as soon as the DVD is switched on the signal goes from the TV. The DVD has been tested in Milton Keynes and has shown it works perfectly. Do I have to wait till Sept 28 before I can use my new DVD?! What's it all about?

Dear Briantist, The DVD is a Sony RDRDC100B DVD REC/HDD 160GB bought at John Lewis MK. I reported the problem to them and have had two different electronics repair centres,both recommended by John Lewis,check the DVD over. Both have said "No faults found. Suspect problems are caused by Poor Signal"

Briantist, the aerial goes into the DVD at the "In" socket and the second aerial lead comes out the "Out" socket and is connected into the TV. A friend suggested I try using a Scart connection between the TV and DVD instead of the HMD1 to see if it makes a difference.

Briantist, we seem to have made progress with the scart connection! The DVD seems to be picking up most of the channels, TV and Radio. I,m going to leave it now while I,m ahead, but thanks for your help and I will follow your advice if, or when, it all goes wrong again.
