Rented property in Burford with a small (but apparently digital-ready) aerial in the loft and an LG TV with built-in Freeview decoder. Reception has always been rubbish - the only way that the TV will detect any channels at all is with a signal booster attached, but nevertheless we could receive all 5 non-HD Freeview multiplexes fine before the switchover. Now we've lost multiplex 2 entirely. Re-scanned multiple times with and without signal booster attached (which is still needed, otherwise nothing at all) and performed a factory reset on the TV, but still no joy. Signal strengths on the multiplexes that we can receive vary a fair bit:
53 = 99%
55 = 78%
59 = 42%
62 = 70%
Am I right in saying that a new aerial is probably needed in this case (which the landlord may not agree to of course), or is this anything else I can try? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
