Wrekin is useless, Sutton Coalfield is 18 miles away and we are in a poor reception area. Just purchased a Sony Bravia 20". What arial do you recomend for a DIY fanatic. |
Response
Your first point of reference should be the aerials of your neighbours, as they are likely to be suffering the same problems as you. If in doubt, call out a local aerial technician for a free quiote. Any CAI approved installer should be able to help you here.
By fitting quality CT100 coaxial cable, you`ll often achieve better Freeview reception than by installing aerial amplifiers (signal boosters) onto an existing poor aerial installation which has old and lossy coaxial cable.
If after improving your TV aerial installation and realigning your aerial, you still get a weak analogue TV signal or poor Freeview reception then a signal booster may help, particularly if you have a long coaxial cable down lead. If you`re using an indoor loft TV aerial, or the coaxial cable from a roof mounted aerial enters your loft before being fed downstairs, consider fitting the signal booster inside your loft. Fit the amplifier about 1 metre from the aerial for best results. However, as a general rule, only fit a digital TV compatible aerial amplifier if upgrading your existing aerial or re-aligning it failed to sufficiently improve Freeview reception.
Alternatively, if you have an external aerial on your roof, then a Masthead TV aerial amplifier fitted at the aerial will provide the greatest improvement and benefit for boosting Freeview reception, as it will amplify the UHF digital TV signal before any coaxial cable downlead loss is experienced.
Hope this helps
