Connecting HDMI to TV blocking Saorview

Hi, I bought a Samsung UE22D5003 Tv last week. I can receive Saorview using a basic rabbit ear aerial in my room.

Thanks

Is it the HDMI being plugged in or just the close proximity of the powered up laptop that causes the problem ? The signal from a rabbits ears antenna would be weak to begin with, any local interference (wifi/Bluetooth or just the laptops main clock) could be interfering with it.

Try just plugging the HDMI lead in with the laptop powered off and see if the results are the same.
