    What channel was it and what time and from what transmitter? Maybe someone else who was watching at the same time could comment. Otherwise might be something wrong with your TV.

    I was watching RTE 2 from Clermont Cairn last night between 2130 and 2330 and didn't notice anything strange.

    There is no so such thing as digital analogue.

    There is digital, there is analogue.

    Sky box receivers do not have dvb-t tuners on them.

    They have RF loop through which just passes on the aerial signal to your TV. Your TV has a dvb-t tuner obviously. You should connect your aerial directly to your TV and eliminate the sky box doing this for no reason.

    Then use the dvb-t or source button on your tuner to pick DTV.

    i tried connecting my aerial cable directley into the tv and the picture was crap , none of this in anyway explains why the picture was dimming every ten minutes

    What do you mean by crap... how was the picture. If you mean fuzzy then you are viewing the analogue tuner not the digital one.

    I read through some of your previous posts - you have a Panasonic 37 X20 which is MPEG4 (hence the DTT stations).

    You need to tune in the digital terrestrial stations in set up (NOT the analogue). On the tuner menu there is an option to tune in "digital".

    On your source menu you will have DTV - that will display the DVB-T stations.

    Stop looping the aerial through the Sky box and connect the directly to the TV. The Sky Box is obviously going into some form of sleep mode.
