Loft TV Aerial Random Signal Loss

Mr.Generous

Re wire the co-ax plugs then try again. If all else fails mount the aerial outside on the chimney.

You need something like this:

stator

Masthead amplifier:

But it needs a power supply too :

(The power is transferred on the coaxial cable between the masthead amplifier and the power supply)

Before doing anything else take heed of the advice regarding the coax connectors and the copper braid conductor (what you call threads?) as they form part of the radio frequency circuit.
Without them all being connected correctly at EVERY coax connector you will not have a circuit working properly.

Do not cut back the outer braid.

Chances are that will fix your problem for absolutely no cost!
