Hi there

 

Can you do a re-tune of your TV?  As its either that or a factory reset considering you have checked your connections.

 

Cheers

Ok - Back to basics:

  • Can you try an alternative aerial cable?
  • Check your local transmitter to see if there are any reported faults ( https://ukfree.tv/maps/live ) - If you can reply back with the name of your local transmitter, I might be able to find more info.
  • Ask your neighbour if they are also having problems - assuming they get their TV signal via a Freeview capable aerial and not via Sky for example
  • Do you have another TV or Freeview recording device that you can test the aerial socket that is on the wall?
  • If you have exhausted all posibilities, you might need to call out an aerial technician to check your aerial.

 

This website has loads of other troubleshooting advice:

I have the same problem - just bought a new Sony 32inch TV. Trying to set up but get the message on screen - No Signal, please check your antenna connection.

 

I have put another TV onto the aerial connection and all fine, so it's not the aerial - any ideas?
