Here line of sight to Crystal Palace, I normally get very good tv reception with a wide band loft aerial. I fear it might well be time, once again to change its coax or get a decent aerial fro Freeview. T multiplex which has channels 20 21 and some others on it is coming up no signal all of a

PS I just tried the discone from my radio scanner on the TV, and get all
the channels no problems, so I guess that is rather an obvious pointer that
I have an aerial with built in attenuator all of a sudden. Last time it looked like something had eaten the pvc out of the coax. What is the best stuff these days? Maybe one that wildlife won't eat?

manner of problems. I would suggest Toolstation item 86843 which is a
0-20dB R F attenuator with F-type connectors.
I'm not convinced its overload or lift conditions this time, It definitely says no signal.But how does it determine there's a signal ? Usually for digital

if they can 'see' a valid COFDM signal.
Point a DVB-T only receiver at a DVB-T2 mux, and it will also say 'no
signal'
