Hi everyone,
does anyone know what I need to do to get my tv to pick up the areal signal? It was working fine for 2 months and then suddenly one day it stopped working.

Have you tried a retune?
Where is your aerial? Roof? Loft? Room?
Individual or communal?
What do you live in? A house? A flat?
Can you follow the aerial backwards from the TV to the wall socket? Do the plugs on each end of the aerial cable look right? Is it a professionally made cable?
How many aerial sockets have you got? Has anyone disconnected a powered box with aerial cables connected to it because they “couldn’t see what it was for”? If so, put it back. it’s powering a distribution amp for the aerial because there is no power in the loft.
That’s the number two reason for aerials stopping working, just after people pulling the aerial connection apart somewhere.
Other issues can be a roof aerial blowing down, or getting blown out of alignment, mice gnawing the cabling, home-made aerial cables with built-in shorts, and so on.
