    hi everyone dont know if this is posted in the wrong section but santa brought the young lad a new 19inch HDMI plasma tv for his bedroom but the reception i am getting on it with the rabbits ears are terrible its that bad the telly is unwatchable but with his old telly the picture is perfect with the same rabbits ears in the very same place i have went through tuning the new tv in 5 or 6 times but with no improvement could there be something wrong with the new telly or have the new tellys got crappy tuners

    i wouldnt say they have crap tuners
    they just wont pick up weak signals though
    have you tried manual tuning with the frequency numbers(someone may post them for you)
    are you searching for analog signal and not digital

    Sometimes you have to select the country while scanning, as well as whether it's digital or analogue or over the air.

    have you tried taking it down to the main aerial and trying it there?? if you can get it tuned in from that aerial, you might be able to take it up to the other aerial and you know its tuned in properly....... HTH

    if you have an old vcr around with a built in tuner you could use this to possibly get a better tv signal

    no fine tuning did not help i was very surprised when the amplified indoor ariel did not work so my next train of thought is bringing it back and get a different model of tv

    What make/model TV did you buy? It`s possible that it could have a dvb-t digital tuner and you could view the free digital channels from RTE (saorview/DTT).... instead of the old analogue channels.....
