  Sorry to drag this thread up again but I was reading BH's Things Every HD/HDR-FOX Owner Should Know. What are people's opinion on turning on the 5V Antenna Power? What effect do people expect it will have?

  All of the equipment, including the amplifier, was installed by the aerial installer. It's from around 2004-ish so early FreeView. I do not know what they are or do. The only installing I have done was to install the filters. When the reception issues return I will remove the amp (white box)...

  Thank you, Martin. May I tentatively ask, what is the purpose of amplifying the signal? Presumably, as it's digital, it's to get it above a certain minimum threshold?

  It's like pulling teeth (to you) because you know what you know and I don't know what you know or need to know. We were discussing picture quality. Is it such a leap to think that's why you asked about the signal amplifier?

  Didn't realise signals could be too high? Here is the signal amplifier Oddly, the SD channels improved last night. And when I look at them now, they seem fine. I won't bypass the signal amplifier as I wouldn't be able to detect any difference in picture quality.

  Thank you for the reply. I will do the bypass tomorrow. The chain of command is Aerial > Restoretv.uk filter > signal amplifier > Humax > TV (I think). I will check that tomorrow.
