Aerial Socket on LG TV ceased working

I have an LG small LCD tv in the bedroom which, up until recently, was receiving a signal from our living room tv (running via a SKY HD+ box) via coax cable, enabling me to watch whatever was being watched in the living room. This has since ceased to work. I've tried plugging another portable tv in the bedroom using the coax cable and it works fine. I'm assuming therefore that the problem lies somehow with the aerial socket on the LG TV? anyone got any advice or solutions to this problem?

    Freeview are modifying their frequencies and multiplexes - retune your tv , if that fails do a factory reset then retune! Its 90% of the time due to an aerial/signal reception problem. As freeview are currently modifying broadcast frequencies its more than likely that!

    The LG tv's are very sensitive to aerial signal power - if it doesnt get the signal it greys out the icon - in your case it does sound like the i/o board may have a fault on the aerial input though if your other tv is working - your other tv may also not be as sensitive as the LG HOWEVER - BOTH MY lg TV'S HAVE GONE AT THE SAME TIME AND ITS DEFINITELY FREEVIEW SIGNAL AS gLASGOW WAS CHANGED LASDT MONTH AND THATS WHEN THE ISSUE BEGAN!

Most likely the TV has a burned out receiver board.

SOURCE: Unable to Tune TV to Sky + RF output

Hi.

The problem is that the modulator output frequency of your sky box is exactly the same as for example chanel 5 on your terestrial aerial.
You need to change this number to a different one thats clear of local terestrial transmissions


1) Select the Services button on your Sky or Sky+ remote control.

2) Type in 401 [select] on your key pad and you will get to the installer menu. You cant gain access to this via the drop down menu as it is designed for the Sky Engineer to use.

3)
Select Option 4 to configure the RF outlets on your Sky Digibox.

4) The option RF Chanel Number change this number from example 35 to 60 .
You may need to do this using other numbers 26 34 55 etc
Every time you alter the number store it then try & tune TV to sky.
Any other sets in the house connected by RF leads will require retuning for sky.
Save new settings and you should find that your RF outlet to TV works fine.

SOURCE: Aerial socket

Hi..

As I have seen the full specs of your LCD monitor I don't have seen any aerial port or a socket features with your monitor it only supported by a DVI-D, VGA signal input, that's means that it has no aerial socket.

Hope it helps...

Enjoy

Pls. rate & hope to hear more from you soon..

SOURCE: Connecting Sony PS2 to Panasonic HT32LZD85

First off you need to retire that ps2 and join the PS3 revolution, well worth the money although with the recent drop of the inferior x-box 360 the PS3 may follow suit shortly.

Now, I'm gathering from your discription limited as it may be that you had an adapter that connected the the stock cable that was included with your ps2 which consists of the end that interfaces with the ps2 and the end that is ment to provide the signal to your tv which includes your composite video (yellow) and your left and right audio (red&white).

If this is case then it should be a simple matter of removing the adapter that changed the source (ps2) signal to aerial and pluging the yellow red and white cables direct to your tv (standard imputs at the rear of the television should be video 1,2,3 ect.

Then just make sure your tv is on and set to the correct imput and you should be rockin and rolling in no time.

SOURCE: Stopped receiving sky on second tv - does my samsung need a reset

I install a lot of magic eyes etc.

You have checked that the magic eye lights up when it is connected directly into the sky box. So your eye is working correctly.

the next step I would take is with your sky remote in your main room. press SERVICES, 4, 0,1, SELECT go to RF settings and check the rf channel and make sure the power is on. Take a mental note of the channel number.

Now go into the room where the link is feeding. Turn on the TV and go to channel number 6 press your MENU button and then go down to setup. go across to manual install and then down to the channel number type in what you retrieved from you box ie rf channel and then type it in and STORE.

If you go into your main room and just put the normal tv guide on ie blue screen. then check that your getting the sky into the other room. IF you are then great it just needed tuning in. IF not I would remake the coax connectors. as there may be a bit of copper braid touching the centre core. once this is done your sky should be on all you need to do now is put the eye back on. Once you have done this the red light should appear on your magic eye. if not go to your main box and follow the first instructions I gave you and turn the power off on the RF and then save and then go back in and turn it back on and save.

Hope this sorts out your problem

Cheers

SOURCE: Water leak from inside the tv aerial through the pin connector

its most likely a leak in the roof following the wire down to the tv this could be a very big problem as any wood on the way to the tv has a chance to rapidly rot and create larger voids for air to get through you will want to send someone up to the roof to check where the line comes in and caulk the hell out of it

My tv in the loft doesnt work at all well it runs from a booster on thevfirst floor then through a bedroom with a splitter then up to my bedroom in the loft

TV signals are funny things. A signal that is perceived as being weak might not be at all because unless great care (and some luck) and some good materials are used longish cable runs can gather so much interference the tv set behaves as if the signal is weak.

A splitter will halve the signal.

Ideally a booster should be positioned close to the aerial so it is amplifying a cleaner signal and not amplifying interference. A masthead signal booster is the best option for a single or double downlead.
For a rooftop aerial and multiple downleads, first the aerial must be a high gain type in the frequency band used in your area. The shortest downlead possible would then feed into a signal booster (in the loft) with multiple outlets so each room or tv set has an exclusive downlead that hasn't been interfered with or split.

Each downlead should be low-loss double-wrapped coaxial cable with the best quality plugs you can find.

You might find it easier to obtain an exclusive aerial for your bedroom tv.

You could try replacing the aerial cable to your room with low-loss cable and get rid of the splitter and booster and replace with a quality booster with two outlets...

No dvb signal on Vierra Panasonic tv

If the tvs share the aerial but only one is working then the wiring of the non functioning socket has shorted. Perhaps the cable you used to connect the second set is damaged,try another. PERHAPS THE AERIAL SOCKET HAS BECOME DAMAGED,THIS ONLY COSTS A FEW PONDS/DOLLARS TO CHANGE. Alternatively it might be the wiring from the roof to the wall socket that is faulty.
First things first, check that the tv is working by connecting it in the other room. If it does work there you will know that theaerial socket in the second room is faulty and can begin testing.

Brought new tv for bedroom freeview inc..set up

If you have got a good aerial, the high gain type- see image, it should run all the TV's you say. Make certain you have decent cable coming off the aerial (the stuff they use for satalite dishes). Then buy some high quality splitters, to feed the TV's. Don't split the cable outdoors!

Hi, I have a digital tv plugged into an extension cable in an upstairs (Toshiba) bedroom; it works perfectly - receiving all channels. I have a digital tv downstairs (Samsung) where it seems the wall...

Hi Fiona
Somewhere along the line from the aerial there must be a signal splitter that feeds the upstair and downstair terminals.
Try to find that splitter and switch the output to see if the problem goes from up to downstair.
If it does switch then you know the problem is with the splitter block, and if it stays the same then the problem is with the cable and/or the connectors that run downstairs.
Also the reason you get a pixellated(snowy) picture is because of signal loss during the length of the cable you ran downstair.
If running a cable downstair becomes the best option to fix your problem , then you could buy a cheap 10db signal booster/r.f amplifier to correct the signal loss and a cable splitter to feed both tv`s
That booster would be installed upstair in your case(near the source of the signal to be amplified).
I could send you a small diagram if need be. Hope this will help and Merry Chrismas

You will need to split the signal with a 900mgz splitter between the living room and other room. if your pic is fuzzy you have a bad splitter or bad cable, try replacing these one at a time and it should clear up. If your getting a sat pic but ti is fuzzy its for sure in the line somewhere fro teh splitter.

Can't get channels 4 and 5, think the problem is with the aerial socket or possibly the cable. The tv works fine in a different room on a different aerial. That aerial is identical to the other one.

If the TV is ok in the other room then the problem lies with your incoming signal. Check your connections. If you are on cable, then it could be a problem with the box. Can you use a scart connection from the box to the TV? If so try to connect up this way & if the problem is still the same then get your box checked.

Should be controllng one box. is controlling 2 boxes

Unfortunately, there is no solution for this issue.  The remote control sends out an infrared signal, which can be picked up as far as 40' away from the device.  And to make things worse, the signal will reflect off any surface such as glass, mirrors, or even brightly painted walls.
The only way to solve the problem is to block the path of the beam to the other room.  This may require closing a door or drawing heavy drapes closed.

Thomson dsi 4200 satellite receiver

The only way this would work ( and this applies to any form of cable/satellite box) so the only way this works is if the TV that has the satellite connected to it has a video output normally indicated with the color yellow, but you still need sound that normally is the red and white (RCA cables). So the first tv needs to have video and sound outputs and the TV you want it connected to needs to have the video and sound inputs. depending on the distance between the 2 TV's this might prove to be rather difficult. it would be easier to run the coax cable from the main satellite box to the room where you have the 2nd TV however to do this you would need to move the satellite box back and forth. Hope this helps
