tv signal booster

  • Yes I do have an aerial on the roof, I have had it for many years



    Does the aerial and the height of the mast differ much from your immediate neighbours ?












    I've had the same problem recently too!

    I've just set up a TV at my flat, and attached the freeview box. The TV was in front of the window. Then I decided to move it to the adjacent wall (about 1 metre distance), and now I can't get ITV and C4. Grr.

    All very bizarre.

    I bought a better coaxial cable in Currys for 9.99 and a signal booster for 14.99. Still no joy.

    I don't watch much TV, so it isn't causing me too much of a problem, but I do miss it.

    Any other ideas?

    Did you extend the cable at all when you moved the T V the 1 metre

    Have a look here http://www.!!!!!!.uk/tech/freeview_problems.htm.
    Your problem could stem from any one in a number of factors
    Aerial connections waterlogged/corroded, aerial become mis-aligned, aerial downlead coax of poor quality, or poor connection on freeview box. Plugging the freeview box via a wall plate could seriously reduce the signal by itself.
