The TV in my bedroom is doing daft things. I have retuned several times and now it says there is no signal. Both TVs downstairs are working fine so I don't see how there can be no signal.
If anyone has any ideas of what could be wrong I would be very grateful for your advice, Thank you

glenbar you need to tell us what supplies signal to bedroom tv.
Is it on the same system as the others or on its own source?
Also check the settings on the remote to the TV in case you have pressed a button and selected av or external whilst it should be either or. 'She who must be obeyed' is very adept at that sort of thing.
Different TV receiving devices (whether they be TV sets, recording devices or whatever) have different 'sensitivities' (i.e. their ability to handle weak signals). So, where only a weak signal is available, it's not unusual for one device (with good sensitivity) to be able to 'lock onto' channels whereas another device (with poor sensitivity) can't.

However you need to check whether they're both receiving signals from the same aerial and, if so, examine how the signal is split. e.g. is there an amplified splitter box in your attic? (If so, it's possible that component failure means that one of its outputs has failed - Try swapping them over). The very first thing to check, though, is that the aerial plug hasn't simply come loose from the back of the TV set!

Thank you for answering. They are all running from the same ariel.
The settings on the TV remote will be found if you press 'source' on the remote.
Maybe obvious but you are trying to re-tune the digital (Freeview) stations aren't you? My kitchen TV still has an analogue tuner too, so I must make sure I've selected the digital tuner before re-tuning. Analogue TV is now turned off in the UK.
Make & model of TV would help us advise you.....
