My aerial works on my old tv set, but when connected to my new philips flatv, it says i should check my aerial connections.

Could be a tuning problem. Try retuning the set. Make certain you are getting the strongest signal.

Hi , it could be the tv is receiving to much boost it may work ok with one and be to much for another . You could try taking one of the boosters out like the one nearest the tv and see if the picture settles. The next thing you have to look at is the electrical board.

if a crt type set a bad solder connection or connections are present at end of the crt on that board there.

Based on the information you supplied the following manual may match your set. If not you may search the http://www.p4c.philips.com website for it.

You can get a manual from;

You probably need to install a proper fm aerial and diplexer, is your aerial a TV aerial or a radio aerial?
You need to set it for the correct TV system in the software to get the audio from the TV, there will be a number of options like PAL I or PAL M or N. etc They have different sound settings, you need to choose the correct one for your system.

You are suffering from a poor signal. Digital TVs will display 'blocking' (partial freezing of the picture in square or rectangular blocks) or total freezing of the picture, when the signal is too weak.

You don't say if this is a recent problem on a set that has been working correctly - that info. would be helpful. However, things to check include:

Has the aerial moved (wind?)
Are you using a new extension coax cable? If so try another one, as connections may be faulty.
If this a new TV, and you have not used digital previously, your aerial may not be high enough gain for a digital signal, but that is unlikely unless it's a nery old aerial.

You will have 2 UHF plugs on your set top box.. One for input (aerial) and 1 for output (TV). Connect your main aerial to set top box UHF input and connect an Output UHF lead from set top box to TV. Next switch on set top box and retune tv on a spare channel until you get set top box channels (good idea to switch on menu on set top box so you know you are tuned into set top signal )

We found the remote control and hey presto - sorted.

Hi, Your question "Do bigger TV's need an aerial booster or something?" - No, normally it should work straight out. Boosters are used for fringe location not bigger TV. Pls a questions and some ideas: 1. "TV worked fine the night before" was it hooked up to Cable or aerial? 2. If cable, it is necessary that you change the settings of the TV from cable to STD or Air or something like that. Normally this can be done via the remote, menu, setting, set-up; 3. If aerial, you would probably need the assistance of a qualified service personnel. Apparently something got loose inside the Philips TV, not a big problem because you can still receive (BBC 1) but not the other channels, possibly a loose wiring, a disconnected connector. 4. If you feel comfortable working on it yourself, unplug the tv and the aerial, open the back and poke around. Trace from the aerial jack, the lead wires used, the connector to the main circuitry. Wiggle the wires a bit for any loose connection. 5. If #4 is not to your liking or if you do not find anything or no significant improvement after closing it up and running it again, guess you're back to #3. Hope this gives you some idea. Lots of luck and kind regards from the Philippines.
