Our bit error level of about 670 was completely resolved when we switched off the down lights over the TV.

I have the same issue on my 32" but I have changed Ariel and it had made no difference at all! Any ideas?

check you have cable right if no that you may need to get the antenna looked at to see if you have enough signal to the tv

I have just experienced the same problem on my Samsung tv. It is an ariel fault. I tried everything, restore to factory settings, every menu and came up with nothing, then went in to the loft and checked all the cables going to and from the ariel and found a cabel that been pulled out....................when I reconnected the cabel the tv worked just fine again.
