Ending use of TalkTalk TV box, but now can't get TV to work on terrestrial signal

[Perplexed1]

Hi.

I've been using the TT TV box for several years, but now find I don't use it much, so intend to cancel.

However, having disconnected it, I can't get the TV to work on the terrestrial signal via the ariel.

I'm not sure if the TV (Samsung LCD TV  made 2008) is equipped for the terrestrial digital signal or needs converting to analogue. I tried it with and without using a set top box to convert the signal, but the screen displays a ' Weak or no signal' message.

I know the ariel is ok , and that the set top box is ok as they are used on another TV in the house.

I have selected the different input option on the TV, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Any suggestions?

Hi Karl,

Thanks for your advice. It took me a while to figure out how to get the TV to re-tune, but once done, that fixed it. Your help is much appreciated.

Hi

if the same aerial works fine in the TV box, then the aerial itself is fine.

If you connect the aerial direct to the TV  and perform a retune from the TV Settings menu, and the reception is poor, then it could be a fault of the TV tuner or aerial port on the TV.

Thanks  

Karl.
