I receive Freeview via a Grundig IDTV (not sure of the model number).

I've got an indoor aerial, connected to the IDTV's digital tuner input via an aerial signal booster.

Although the signal isn't good enough to pick up some channels (ITV, C4, C5, and the Top-Up TV channels), I have always had a very good signal, & good picture quality, for the BBC channels plus Sky News.

But now....nothing.

Every channel is blank, & the TV says "bad signal".

The co-ax lead has been moved around a bit to try & tidy it, but I don't see how that would cause the problem. Also, the connector on it is fine, plus the aerial has not been moved.

The TV has no problem with the analogue terrestrial channels, received using the same aerial & co-ax lead (the digi tuner has a "loop out" on the back of the TV, which goes into the analogue tuner).
