Double images or ghosts appear.

Check cable or antenna connections.

Check the antenna location and direction.

Set the “Motionflow” to “Standard” or “Off.”

Only snow and noise appear on the screen.

Check if the antenna is broken or bent.

Check if the antenna has reached the end of its serviceable life (3-5 years in normal use, 1-2 years at the seaside).

Dotted lines or stripes appear.

Keep the TV away from noise sources such as cars, motorcycles, or hair-dryers.
