So In last few weeks I have been having artifacting on all freeview channels and audio drop outs.

I'm not too sure how I go about resolving this? I have re tuned it twice checked all connections and we live in an apartment building.

I have a Samsung 6 series using the built in tuner

Any ideas?

If you have a shared aerial system provided by the landlord, talk to your property manager in the first instance.
When exactly did you start getting problems?
Also can you see any signal strength metering on the diagnostics of your TV?

Yes the signal strength is at 70 which im guessing is out of 100 - however there is a bitloss bar which increases to around 1000 each time there is artifacting. I will try and talk to the building manager.

Was just looking firstly to see if could be nailed down to an aerial problem or a tv/tuner problem

Thanks

Unlikely to be the TV.
Most likely an aerial/distribution or interference problem in the building. Any neighbours with the same problem?
