My aerial could do with being replaced, well, the pole could, but then if the pole gets replaced, then everything else might aswell be replaced at the same time... Except that to replace the lashing would be a hairy affair as on the other side of the chimney is a long drop down to my alleyway....  I'll wait until it collapses (the aerial, not the chimney!!!)...

Quite why peeps buy new analogue tellys these days is beyond me  (Prolly cos the IDTV Tuners are so ifi I spose)

My System: Sky Digibox Pace 2200, 3 remotes, 2 mice, 2 splitters, a amp adder thingi, a Thomson universal LNB & a zone 2 dish..... With foamy whatsit coax | Sorted! Well I tried a signal amplifier, which actually made things worse So I tried attenuating the signal ..... BINGO all works fine now -24dB did the trick ....... (I had some lil attenuators in me box O' bits, stashed away ....... Who says keepin' stuff ain't prudent ?) ...... So I thought ..... Umm can't hurt to try these ....... So on the advice of the TV, I bought a new antenna which strictly speaking I didn't need, however I did rectify the down lead issue, which would of turned in to a problem eventually anyways I guess TV antennas are a bit more complex than I first thought  Right I'm now officially chuffed & am off to go & watch "Dave" for the rest of the day PS anyone wanna buy a antenna amplifier ??

My System: Mostly gathering dust cos I'm a lazy git. Porty dish face blew off the mount, not too pleased... The Sleepy Hollow pollracle has spoken! | Well I'll be!!! I've heard that some satellite boxes can be overloaded if the signal's too strong, but a TV? It must have a super dooper sensitive tuner if it needed attenuating!!! Well done on figuring it all out, and I do agree that having a collection of bits is always the best idea, that is until it fills your house...

Nice to hear you have got it all up and running On reading the thread i was going to suggest attenuation. I helped install a few rigs in Bolton a few weeks back and all of them pointing at Winter Hill. Every single one had to be attenuated down to about 85dB at the system launch and then down to about 80dB at output to the sub feeds. Never had a situation like that its usually the need to amplify before the sub feed output. Just wondering if the digital signal was so high did you have powerlines on the analogue channels. Its usually a good indication if the signal input is too high.  Nano | |||
