A couple of questions, hope some of you experts can advise;
1. I can only receive The Hits, Sky News & Sky Sports News channels on Freeview if subtitles are switched on ! If they're not, these 3 channels disappear (grey screen) within a couple of seconds. Anyone know why this should be and if there's a fix ?
2. The cable from my high-gain roof aerial is split in the loft with both a splitter amp and a booster. One cable goes to livingroom and the other to a bedroom. However, the reception on both TV's could be better, especially on Freeview as there is quite a lot of pixelation and blocking.
Is it worth trying another booster - either as a replacement for the old one in the loft or as an additional one at the TV end ?

have you tried just running a single, non split, cable to one of the tv's to find out if it's the splitting that is somehow affecting the signal?"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." (Mark Twain)0

What's your transmitter?
What's the make and model of your Freeview box?
If you know the frequencies the channels are broadcast on from your transmitter then your box might give you an indication of signal strength.
Poor signal strength, aerial type or alignment is the likely cause of your problems.0 -
