Pixelated television picture - so focus it again

If the television picture is pixelated, this may be due to poor reception. In this article, we will give you tips on how to fix this and other possible problems and thus bring the image back into focus.

Pixelated television picture - check reception interference

One of the most common reasons is a reception disorder:

• Therefore, check whether the error occurs with all transmitters or only with individual ones.
• If only individual transmitters are affected by the interference, it may be the transmitter itself or your cable provider.
• In most cases, this problem is temporary and resolved by itself, so you don't have to do anything else.
• However, if all transmitters are affected by the error, you can try to replace the antenna cable.
• The shielding may be faulty here, so that other devices nearby may interfere with television reception.
• In any case, contact your cable provider or property management. The problem may be greater and can therefore not be easily remedied.
• Perhaps the fault is also due to your television or monitor. Below we give you tips on how to check this.

Pixelated television picture - fix error on the device

An incorrectly set television can also be responsible for showing you a pixelated television picture. Here you can lend a hand:

• You can make some fine adjustments in the image settings of your device. The image may become sharp again.
• At the same time, you can try to get the picture in focus again using the manual station search.
• To do this, you have to switch through the different frequencies until the picture matches your requirements.
• To rule out the possibility of a defect, you can connect a DVD player or a console to the screen, for example.
• If the image is pixelated here too, although correct image settings have been made, there is actually a defect on the monitor and you should replace it.
