Hi i have recently bought a freeview reciever for my computer, its great but only when plugged into the house antenna. If there a way of getting the antenna signal from the living room to the bedroom (were talking 10 inches through a wall) and i cant drill holes becuase its Can this be done without ttrailing a wire through the flat.

Thanks

No, drill a hole!

Perhaps you need a distribution amplifier close to the aerial. You could intercept the cable on its way down from the roof. Connect it to a distribution amp and then let the wire continue its original path out of one of the channels of the amplifier. The other remaining channels on the amp are yours to route through the property.

Maybe try another aerial. Often the ones that come with such tuners are rubbish. I've got one waiting at home as we speak (just in time for the WC!), so gonna see how I fare with the included aerial. If it's rubbish though I may buy another, maybe some sort of booster aerial.

How about an amplified aerial?

Use your initiative! Who is going to know if you make good the required 1/4" hole when necessary? Don't be a wimp!

Only worth considering if the OP is in a very strong signal area!

:eek:
