I know this is an issue for me at home in Madrid, Spain but I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything I possibly can to make this work.
Moved into an apartment in the centre of Madrid.
Hooked up the TV and all the channels worked fine. The kids loved the music channel called Hit TV.
However, we changed the position of the TV and had to extend the cable. Now, I know that this can have an impact on signal strength, but what happened was that the Hit TV channel was no longer coming through. We assumed it was due to the cable being extended.
Anyway, to cut to the chase, we got a new TV after a while and tuned that in and still there was no Hit TV, much to the disappointment of the kids, but we still figured that this was down to the cable extension.
After a while we moved the (new) TV back to the older position, and were able to connect to the original line and so we sync'd the channels again and Hit TV did not tune in. My neighbours have it and most households and bars around us have it and so the kids were raging!
I called out a technician and he said that perhaps the cabling we were using wasn't good enough and so we replaced that with the most expensive cabling we could find that was made for 4K systems as well as anything below that, but it makes no difference, the channel still won't tune back in. We even tried a signal amplifier and that didn't work either.
Is there something I may be doing wrong here? It isn't hugely important of course, but given that I have shelled out for new cabling I thought I had better at least try to get to the bottom of this?
If anyone knows what the cause of this is or if there might be something I have over looked I'd be interested to know.
