Any electronic/AV savvy people here to help?

I have a DVD recorder (DMR-XW385) which displays NO SIGNAL.  So I am unable to record.  The RF from the antenna socket goes to it and then to the television.  The TV signal is OK.   I have googled and found a suggestion to use a booster or a splitter.  I have both of those so tried them.  No luck.  Doesn't make sense that the TV signal going through the DVD recorder/player is OK, not weak, but there is no signal when I want to record.

It was working a couple of weeks ago before I moved here, a Brisbane suburb, not Woopwoop.  I am not a silly old woman who doesn't know what she is doing.  In a past life I did A/V work, and have assisted younger generations to set up their systems.

Can anybody help?

Yes - don't stick a fork into a power outlet/socket

Hope that helps

Has it been retuned since you moved?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I feel very dumb now.  I knew it was something simple staring me in the face.  I don't remember having to do that before when I moved.   Maybe there should have been a message attached to the NO SIGNAL.  Of course there was nothing in the manual.
