TV says “No signal” in Ilford
Every channel shows “No signal”. Most often a cable has come loose, been damaged, or let water into a connector. Less often the aerial itself has failed or come down. We test from the TV back to the aerial and fix the break.
Poor Freeview reception in Ilford
Some Freeview channels have gone after a retune, or the picture is weak on HD channels. The usual causes are an old, badly aimed or blocked aerial, or a failed amplifier. We measure every channel with a meter before changing anything.

The picture freezes, breaks into blocks or the sound drops out. Typical causes are a corroded joint, an aerial moving in the wind, or interference from a nearby phone mast. We find the cause and fix it, usually in one visit.
