[QUOTE="spiney, post: 109250, member: 192438"] Unfortunately, it's a question of signal-to-noise ratio. There's no way of increasing this without improving your antenna. But, could you install a loft aerial? Get a long one with lots of elements, more than your roof one, then even pointing through the roof it should get a better signal (hopefully). If considering a Freeview receiver, check the aerlal is suitable for that (sometimes channels are "out-of-band"). At least you've got a picture. Digital TV is worse, when signal-to-noise goes below a certain threshold, you get nothing. Sounds like you've got analogue only TV, hav u considered Sky "freesat"? I think this costs about £160, a one-off payment, maybe about what a roof aerial installer would charge, and you'd get all the free sat channels (but some free ones are only on Freeview). [/QUOTE]
