I had a set up in my wifes workshop of a 14" CRT and a separate (cheapie) Freeview tuner fed from a loft aerial.
Trying to improve that for her I, bought a 19" LG LCD with built in tuner and gave one of my sons the seperate tuner.
Unfortunately the signal breaks up a lot and she is giving me jip.
I have done a few searches and conclude that the TV splits the signal to feed the RF and Freeview inputs. This appears to weaken the signal on occasions and cause the problem.
Firstly, does this sound reasonable.
The answer is to change the aerial - which is inpractical as I already have VM in 2 rooms. Go back to the seperates solution ie. TV and separate tuner.
Richer Sounds said that I could return the TV but they have no TV's without tuners.
Would you keep the TV and buy another tuner and feed the AV input. Or what would you advise, please.
