Still no TV

I bought an aerial from JB HiFi.

I can't get anything on the TV with it.

Do I need to retune the TV?

Hi Carpe!

The Teev is fine, was working up until, er, Tuesday night when I think the rodents in the ceiling chewed the wire - it was frizzing and in and out of tune for a while (the TV is new, was bought in, er, Feb.).
I can't get up into the ceiling to check the booster thingy, it's probably what the rats have chewed the cable to. (Or the booster's died, it was about 15 years old!)

I just looked at the aerial on the roof and the little red light on the booster doesn't appear to be on. I unplugged the power box for the aerial booster (what are those things called?), and I've just set the TV to tune...

WTF?

I have TV!

I have to have a shower, ready for Q&A.

I'll have to ask my friend when he can get over to look at the aerial what might have happened.

OK
I just had a shower, came back into the loungeroom and the TV has no signal, again.

I don't know what's going on.

Not missing much kae,
I think they put J Elliot on for a joke and to denigrate the conservative side.
The man is obviously "smart-clever" in a way a fox is, but no way intelligent!
In other words a buffoon!

And God save us from that bloody woman, first time I laid eyes on her and hate her for ever!
(K D that's her)
I'm really mad, I might just give it away again

Pity I'm in Melbourne I could fix your TV.

LOL

Thanks Orion - bit of a commute, though.

I'll have to watch it on the web on Saturday... or tomorrow night (or read the transcripts), and I'll write something. Perhaps.

I don't know what's going on with the TV. Rotten thing.

Sorry about J Elliott.
He is getting better as the subject changes, he has common sense, but my criticism still stand. He is a buffoon and certainly no politician.

PS, can I edit my comments on your blog, once they been posted?
Just grammatical corrections, that's all.

I'll just have to have a look over the weekend.

As to the editing question, no. I can't even edit comments, I can only delete a comment entirely.

I'm speculating but it sounds like a bad connection, try checking at the insert points for the areal & TV & retune or the booster, transformer thingy may have sh@t itself.

As an aside John Elliot is quite entertaing on Q&A.

Hi Carpe
As I said I unplugged it the other night and only plugged it in again tonight and the bloody thing worked!
But for less than the 20 minutes it took me to get the washing off the line and have a shower.

Grrr
