Thankyou for your advice re dropout of digital picture signal, as an update I got out a local firm and it transpires the aerial lead was shorting out (over 30 years old LOL) and am now sorted.

Well as they "Spoke too soon" after 45 mins off it goes again, pah!! seems its probably the TV itself.
Thanks for your post anyway.

I still think that the signal strength (even with the theoretically improved aerial) is only just borderline and hence that a cheap signal booster will fix the problem.

PS: Beware of many local so-called professional aerial fitters. Many of them don't have a clue about signal propagation and reception. I recently asked a local guy how much he'd charge me simply to go up a ladder and fix my drooping aerial back into the correct position. I might well have paid him the £40 he wanted if he hadn't started telling me loads of complete rubbish about the digital changeover (in the hope of getting far more money out of me). I told him that I've had articles published on the subject, and sent him on his way. He was a cowboy and I suspect that many other aerial fitters are as well.

well have unplugged all the stuff I had in and put in my 15 year old portable and cheap freeview box and have a great picture though admittedly haven`t got all the channels I want? So the clincher would be to try the tv in someones home where no problems exist? What a pest I am!!
