Several TV's here, but only one big screen modern Smart set. The rest have a restricted number of channels because of age. The Smart had an issue where it was constantly suggesting new channels had been found, so it needed a retune.

As one of the high spots, I receive from three regional transmitters, so the set during the retune would want me to tell it which region I was in. I eventually worked out, that I needed to fit an attenuator, so it would see fewer transmitters and concentrate on my main local one. It seemed as reception improved of more distant regions, at certain times of day, it would trigger the TV to request that I retune it.

The attenuator (a variable type) has mostly fixed the issue.
