Set top Box and TV clarity

[patthar]

I live in an hotel/apartment building and receive all free to air channels. The problem is that from time to time I cannot see some channels on TV - the picture comes and goes with digital squares on the screen. I have spoken to the bodycorp and have been told that there must some prooblem in my apartment because all other apartments in the building receive all channels without any problems. I have changed the cables to and from TV to the aerial socket, but no use. Will a set-top box solve my problem? thanks.

A set top box won't improve the reception that much.

we had the same problem from time to time and I replaced the aerial and has worked fine since.

In your situation I think it's probably the 3 or 4 way splitter box  that takes the signal from the aerial and distributes the signal to other tvs as well as yours.  There may be a loose connection on your line to your TV or your outlet may be faulty.

Hope this helps

have you spoken to other people in the units to see if they are  getting clear reception at all times?
