You have a major problem. I have had the same problem and in the end  the tv was written off. luckly I had insurance. I even spoken to the LG bods and they did not know. The only thing I can tell you is that its NOT an aerial fault its the tv. I even had a new ECB board and this still did not fix the problem. I think its a Digital problem inside the TV. I hope this is of some help?????????
