I have just bought a small TV for my daughter bedroom that has built in freeview, problem is it is getting no signal, I have a new tv, new connectors, new coax cable and a new digital ariel but yet still no signal. I have tried the TV on the other ariel and it is working fine. Can someone please help? My daughter is driving me mad,

Daughters usually drive parents mad - fixing the TV will not necessarily help.

You have:
1) An Aerial
2) A Cable from the aerial to the wall socket in daughter's room
3) A cable from the the wall socket to the TV
4) A TV

No 1 may be bad but it would be most unusual
No 4 has been shown to be OK

That leaves 2 & 3.

Eliminate 3 by using another cable as a test
Examine the socket in daughter's room for poor connection
Send someone up on roof to examine connection between aerial and cable (do this last of all).

Good luck...
