Hi, just moved into SW20 9BB.
We have inherited a loft aerial from the previous residents which according to google maps appears to be pointing exactly towards crystal palace. However I've been unable to pick up ANY signal at all when connected to the coaxial wall socket (our freeview box just reads "no/bad signal"). Conclusion is that the problem must be either the aerial or the cable.
I've tried the usual laymans tricks (checked for loose connections at the socket and aerial etc), but can't verify the integrity of the cable as it runs inside the cavity wall.
What is the likelihood it's the 'loft aerial' to blame?

External aerials are against our lease, so have got to make this work...any ideas or next steps gratefully received.
