Freeview tv - inside aeriel / no connection - HELP


Recommended Posts

Can anyone technologically minded help.


We have a Samsung TV which has built in Freeview. For some reason though, it won't connect to Freeview (or anything for that matter).


We don't have an external aerial so have to make do with a inside aerial (which worked fine for the last TV). There is no actual TV aerial point in the flat though (only some old Sky leads that are no longer used) so it's saying that there is bad signal when I'm trying to get it connected.


I'm at a loss as to what to do, does anyone have any ideas?

Hello Carolod


I had similar issues and could not get any HD channels, I cured it by upgrading my firmware on the TV, I downloaded it to an USB stick to complete the installation (it doesn't always work if you rely on on-line upgrade) Type yourTV's full model number + firmware into google to check.

I also bought a new aerial https://www.amazon.co.uk/Max-Signal-TW1-Freeview-Aerial/dp/B00KW7OBSI

Fantastic reception now!!

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
