I fixed my television this weekend. Turned out I'd made a rookie mistake. A few months ago, my TV capture device stopped reliably delivering me programme information. I got about 1/3 of it. I don't watch enough broadcast TV to prioritise looking into it, so I kept putting it off. This weekend I found it was because the aerial cable had simply come unplugged. Of course the rookie mistake was to rule out "not plugged in" as a cause of failure, simply because it was still 1/3 working. With anything else that would make sense ‒ if it were not plugged in, it wouldn't work at all. But TV aerials don't work that way!
