I moved into a new house on Friday, and got my tv working (a 3 year old Panasonic Plasma). The aeriel was connected, TV plugged in and all DVB channels were available.

However, i noticed yesterday, after setting up an AV amp and surround speaker package that there was no DVB signal. I have double checked all connections, and everything works, the TV displays the Bluray discs, sound system all works etc.

I have performed an auto search, and the same message keeps coming up, 'NO DVB SIGNAL, CHECK AERIEL' etc.

I have tried another aeriel cable, and different aeriel sockets, and TV's, all the same. Then i checked outside and it appears i don't have an aeriel installed, but why woudl the DVB broadcast work for a few days, and then stop if there is no aeriel?

The house has various aeriel sockets and cables in place already, so at this moment in time all i can assume is that someone has nicked my aeriel, but i can't see any signs of an aeriel been installed on the building anywhere!

Any other ideas?

Is the aerial in the loft? There is probably a powered distribution amp somewhere, in the loft or airing cupboard or similar, has this been switched off?

The previous owners forgot the aerial and came back and took it, simples.
