TV pixelating using own aerial

[LisaH2892]

Just had EE tv and broadband fitting to escape rip off sky. Think I will be ok with the tv despite not having as many channels and the menus being vastly different. I’ve plugged my own aerial in to receive terrestrial channels rather than choosing internet but the tv keeps pixelating and the sound slips, if that makes sense. I only chose my own aerial to get local channels. What would the issue be and if I changed to internet for these channels would it be better?

I'm glad it's sorted @LisaH2892 .

"You get what you pay for"?

Sorry, but that is not an excuse. If I connect my aerial directly to my TV, I get perfect reception. Therefore, I know my signal is good. I'm interested in exploring the idea that a signal can be "to strong". If an attenuator is a solution, then EE should supply this.

It is also possible that your box has not tuned into the most reliable transmitter that is available for all channels.

The one I use is a dead loss, in tuning, and I hade to take it to a relatives where the worst transmitter near me doesn’t reach, but the best one does.  I then brought it back home and it was fine.

Thank you Luke. That's very interesting to hear.
