OK, so I live in a rented house. A month or 2 ago, ITV, ITV2, Channel 4, 4+1, dave, channel 5, e4 etc started going blocky. For a while, a bit of tweaking of the co-ax cable seemed to fix it after a while of mucking around with it but its gradually gotten worse.
Ive tried re tuning, both auto and manual which it wont let me do. Have tried re tuning with aerial unplugged to reset it. I had a booster box and tried that but again that didnt work as it takes the sky type cables and the aerial cable is just a normal co-ax. I could try a fancy co-ax cable from the box in the wall to my tv but doubt that would make much difference.
The landlady has basically said to the estate agent that the last tenants had Sky, not sure why that means that its not for her to fix as its her house, I dont see why I should pay to fix an aerial on a house that the landlady is supposed to maintain. It worked when we moved in and now has a problem. Anyway, so I have to try and get my tv working again myself.
Theres a Sky dish on the house with 2 cables running to the living room and one to the master bedroom.
If I was to buy a Sky box, would that enable me to get the channels that Ive lost? Would I need a card at all?
Just trying to find the cheapest way to fix it as money is tight atm with me being out of work.
Any ideas?
