I'm getting a problem with my TV - any ideas to diagnose/fix it? It works fine and picks up all expected freeview channels (including the HD ones)... until some of the interior lights are turned on. Depending on which ones are turned on the signal either disappears completely, or reduces enough to cause occasional picture drop-out.
Stumped!
- I've checked the TV on both 12v and 240v, and on different sockets - no difference.
- It works fine on other sources (e.g. DVD or USB), and fine if I take it into the house and try it on Freeview or satellite.
- Inserting an "earth break" aerial connector makes no difference.
- The signal booster was fitted by a previous owner and is spliced into existing wiring - if I disconnect the signal booster power lead this makes no difference.
- Removing the separate signal booster (and just connecting the aerial directly to the TV via an inline aerial connector) makes no difference.
- The aerial and aerial cabling signal or shield is showing no shorts and no voltage against earth, whether the lights are on or not.
