Have you ever faced sudden issues with your TV aerials in between your favourite shows? This is a common problem. It’s pretty frustrating when the TV aerial goes off, and a “no signal” flashes on the screen. However, before you call professional aerial installers, check out some of the common reasons behind the same. There are many reasons behind the sudden stopping of the aerial signals. You might be thinking of some technical failure, whereas the problem might be a minor one.
Keep an eye out for these reasons before you decide to call for a professional to check on the matters.
Why do TV aerials stop working suddenly?
Disconnection of aerials
If you have small kids at your place, then an aerial can sometimes fall out of place. They like to wander around the TV, thereby taking off the aerials. At other times, during cleaning, the connection of the aerial can become loose. Hence, when you see a “no signal” message, make sure to check the aerial connection first. If the connection is loose, fix it back, and the aerial will be in working condition all over again. You can solve it by plugging it back in!
Wrong buttons
Did you press the correct source button for an antenna? It’s is very easy to hit the wrong button. Sometimes the terms like “input”, “AV”, and HDM1 seems confusing and difficult. If you have no clue about the working procedure of these buttons, there’s a high chance that the aerial antenna will remain switched off for good. You might find a no signal on the screen and would not know what you need to do!
Proper tuning
Sometimes a complete retuning is required to get the TV antenna back on track. If you’ve reinstalled the TV, then tuning will help you get the aerial fixed and work properly. If you have got the autotune option on the menu settings of your TV remote, then you can do it alone, without anyone’s help. Autotune options will help you tune it up properly without any issue and scan the channels available on the aerial.
Faulty antenna
If you’ve checked the 3 points mentioned above and still your aerial is not working, there’s probably some damage to the aerial. General wear and tear can damage an old aerial over time. Moreover, if you’re using an outdated aerial for a long time, then certainly it’s time to change the same. Sometimes they may look fine from the outside, but later, when you call a professional, you might find many issues inside the same.
