TV Antenna Not Working in Adelaide? Here's What to Do
No signal at all, or a 'no signal' message on screen? Before you assume the worst, here's how to work out whether it's the antenna, the cabling, or something simpler.
A TV antenna that's stopped working completely usually points to a clear break somewhere: a snapped cable, a failed connector, a storm-damaged antenna, or a problem at the wall outlet. Less often it's the TV's tuner or a setting.
The quickest way to narrow it down is to check whether the problem affects every TV in the house or just one. From there we know whether to look at the antenna and main cable, or the run to a single room.
Why an antenna stops working
- Old or deteriorated antennas
- Storm or weather damage
- A loose, damaged or disconnected cable
- Corroded or worn connections
- Faulty wall plates or splitters
- Antenna movement or misalignment

Common questions
Why has my TV antenna stopped working?
A complete loss of signal usually means a physical break: a storm-damaged antenna, a snapped or disconnected cable, a failed connector, or a dead splitter. If every TV is affected it's the antenna or main cabling; if it's one TV, it's the outlet or cable to that room.
How do I know if it's the antenna or the TV?
If more than one TV has lost signal, the antenna or cabling is almost certainly the cause, not the TVs. If only one TV is affected, test it on another outlet. If it works elsewhere, the problem is the cable or wall point in that room.

Yes. A total loss of signal is the kind of job we prioritise, and we carry the parts to fix most causes on the first visit across Adelaide.
