Can an Aerial Stop Working?

If you have lost TV aerial signal, then the problem could be down to a faulty or broken tv aerial. Over time, aerials can become faulty due to weather conditions or because they were never correctly installed in the first place.

Can a TV aerial just stop working?

Make sure the cable of the aerial is properly connected

​Although nobody thinks about it, it is possible for the aerial's cable to simply fall out of its place. When this happens, it is impossible for the TV to receive any signal from the aerial.

What do you do if your aerial doesn't work?

Reconnect all cables at the back of the TV or box, making sure that the cables are all properly connected (you want to avoid loose cables that could cause signal loss) and if you have a signal booster connected, try removing that and plug the antenna cable straight into your receiver, recorder or TV.
