      reception problems

      thanks for advice once more you two, i'll have a look at the strengths with indoor aerial plugged into the amplifier when i get a chance and report back but it does sound like the sheffield signal coming thru a correctly alligned aerial is indeed the way forward. when we get the house painted...

      reception problems

      reception problems

      i'm assuming that everything is weather related, and he also informed me that they had been doing some tinkering at the transmitter recently, i imagine he was trying to save me money, i get a great picture from the current set up, maybe sheffield signal would be stronger, but i cant see the...

      reception problems

      but the aerial man said what i have already is performing a great job, i dont see the need to put a different aerial on the outside of the house, or clutter up the place with an unsightly indoor aerial when the one we have is doing the job its paid to do! or are you all expecting another...

      reception problems

      my booster is a cheap one, aerial man said it was crap! cost about £6 off ebay, 4 way splitter, use two outputs, powered. it sits just before the boxes. as far as i can tell the cable from the wall is extremely old and goes into a white box, with another plug in coax leading across the room to...

      reception problems

      he said that where we are and the aerial we've got we get a belting signal from EM the booster certainly does work as evidenced by it picking up 51 52 and 32HD with it, but not at all without

      reception problems

      since hes gone i've replaced the cable from socket to splitter and then checked all the signal qualities, the ones on muxes 51 and 52 are down to 10%, so i've put my powered booster/splitter back in and they're up to 100% again, also can now get 32HD, but only with the powered booster also the...

      reception problems

      hes just left, nothing needed doing, he said the aerial and cabling are old, but its pointing at emley moor, with horizontal fins and the signal thru the aerial is spot on when he plugged it into his testing box, no water ingress, no degradation. hes put it down to atmospherics and some fannying...
