Television signals are at such high frequencoies they will be reflected form buildings and other objects, and attentuated by moisture in the air and through the leqaves of trees, etc. In large cities yourt TV singals can arrive from different paths Digital TV signals bounce as di the old "analog TV" signals but the technology allows the receiver to ignor singals that are out of phase so the picture is "clean" despite multipleversions of the signal arriving at the antenna at slightly different times. That said, if the signal is weak, there is little you can do other than experimanet with positioning the receivng antenna. Typically, building walls attentuate televisoin signals so locating the receving antenna close to a window often provides for stronger signal reception.

Amplified antennas cannot amplify what is not there. Moisture in the form of fog, rain and snow will attenuate television signals and if thre signals are marginal in good weather, they may be virtually not-existent in wet weather. Digital TV signals are threshold dependent. When they are toow eak, you won't see anything. Back in the old analog TV days, you could see a "snowy picture" but digital TV doesn't allow for that. The signal is either strong enough to be viewed or it is not.

You have few real options if you do not subscribe to cable or a satellite tv provider. Amplified antennas can help but if you need them you live in a marginal TV reception area to begin with and more prone to the vagaries of weather and the seasons.

You need to find out if Free View is in your area. It could be a bad reception due to hills or you're not in direct line of the signal transmitted. There are a lot of reasons why, but one thing for sure is that if you got Free View in your area and you don't get the signal, you can always find out from your neighbours who also have Free View. Sometimes it's better to grab a lifeboat before you jump ship.

My name is mark and you can reach me @ 707029723 and I'll let you know what pretty suse the problem

From the HP website:

420 V.34 negotiations have failed from the originating machine during phase 4. Phase 4 occurs after V.8 and before the first T.30 frames are exchanged. Compatibility problems have been observed in this area when sending to non-HP units.

Solution:

Reattempt the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. 421 V.34 negotiations have failed from the originating machine during phase 3. Phase 3 occurs after V.8, before phase4, and before the first T.30 frames are exchanged. Compatibility problems have been observed in this area when sending to non-HP units.

Solution:

Reattempt the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. 422 V.34 negotiations have failed from the answering machine during phase 4. Phase 4 occurs after V.8 and before the first T.30 frames are exchanged.

Solution:

1. Reattempt the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved.

It could be some issue in the box itself; e.g. signal/video processing circuit (some cable/satellite/set-top boxes develop weird faults in this area when they get hot which affect channel reception/signal). Resulting in 'digital interference' affecting pictures on-screen.

You could also try another device on your TV (e.g. a DVD player if you have one handy) and see if any issues occur on-screen. If the set does not exhibit the same behaviour with a DVD player, chances are your cable/satellite/set-top box is the likely suspect. (the above suggestion is simply to determine whether the problem exists in the TV, the box, or both)
~
If it is proven that the box is indeed the culprit, you may have to consider replacing it with a new one as these are cheaply designed and generally non-serviceable.

I don't know in what area you live & therefore how strong your reception area will be, but as a general rule an indoor antenna is never the best type of aerial to have to receive digital signals, you will always find that you pick up some good strong channels but more often the rest of the channels will be poor or non-existant & will constantly break-up/freeze etc. The best advice would be to try & fit an outdoor antenna if possible.

Sony Technician confirmed that that the TV has an analog tuner
2 options - outdoor antenna with digital converter --- or cable service

THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE DISPLAY PANEL UNFORTUNATLY THE PRICE IS WHAT THE SET COST ORIGINALLY TRY RUBBING THE AREA WITH A DAMP T SHIRT OR DIAPER IT MAY HELP OTHERWISE I AM SORR FOR YOU
