Head around the back of your TV and check the aerial cable is securely connected.

Don’t forget to check the other end of the aerial cable is also connected to the aerial socket in your home.

We recommend keeping your HDMI and aerial cables apart, as they can cause interference between one another.

Using an indoor aerial? Some of these are powered aerials, check the plug is connected and the aerial is powered on.
