Is this on Irish channels (RTE etc) or Satellite channels (BBC etc)?

Which channels are best, which are worst? Who installed it? Has it started getting worse recently?

What aerial are you using for the Irish channels? Do do have an aerial for Saorview?

Is it roof top or indoor?

How many years old is the aerial?

Any idea which direction it points?

Were you pickuping up all the Irish stations (including TG4 and TV3) prior to August 24th this year? Was the picture perfect?

Roughly where are you living?

Have you looked here to see the best mast for you (type in your full address)

The old aerial may work OK.

Hey mate i think it maybe my aerial as the signal strenth and integrety is jumping up and down from 10% to 90% and back down to 10% constantly

Possibly a lose connection at the receiver or the aerial end.

Your aerial is most likely the problem. There is a well established thread for the Ariva 250:
