mayo - I presume you ARE the person on AV Forums with the same problem and a 6yo set?
If not, google for it and compare notes!

It may be that the signal is too strong or too weak for one tuner and OK for another. They will vary, and form time to time if on the margin.
Plug your postcode in here for a strength estimate.

Mike H - Can you not switch the channels round so that the ones you want appear in 1/2/3/4/5 etc? Usually possible.
One trick is to unplug the aerial when the unwanted channels are bing scanned. Depends if the numbers are close or widely spread how achievable that is.

Roger you could get Freesat if you had a DISH, but if you have an aerial you need a Freeview TUNER - very cheap from Argos etc.

Alan B - you are saying the TV will not obey the remote? Not just that it finds no channels? Certainly try new batteries first. Old ones may have just enough power for normal use but not cope with lots of successive commands.
do you elevate your aerial? On top of your bargepole?
I have thought of a helium balloon.

helen.
agree with Alan. Mostly if you have no probs with one TV it will be OK with a single unpowered split.
Do you have an aerial wire to the place you want to use other TV?
Post your postcode if you want your signal strenght checking.

If your present aerial works why do you think you need a new one?
Freesat is good but you certainly would need a new dish installing.
