If you are experiencing problems most (probaby all) TVs have the ability to display some diagnostic information to help identify issues with your received signal. They all vary however in how this feature is accessed. Note that each received "channel" will contain many TV programs which are "multiplexed" onto one transmitted stream of data. If there is a problem with the transmitted channel then all programs, within the same multiplex group, are likely to be affected.

When using this diagnostic function it will display a "signal strength" and a "signal quality" number - typically as a percentage. The signal quality is possibly the most important. A low figure will lead to a breakup of the picture. If all channels are affected then it is either your aerial or a transmitter problem. If it persists it will be your aerial or cable that probably needs attention. A web search will show if there is a transmtter issue.
