[QUOTE="spiney, post: 147274, member: 192438"] Psychobiker, when you say "lines", can you give more info? There's possibly: a) picked up interference from all sorts of things, made worse by large aeirals and inadequate cables; B) wrong coaxial termination, causing signal reflections. In general, you should use: 1) The correct type and gain aerial - whether it's VHF or UHF - for the transmitters you're getting. 2) Satellite grade (solid outer screen) cable. 3) A properly designed masthead combiner, for combining the differently banded aerials. 4) Baluns (maybe). On a high gain aerial, with nearby electrical stuff, you might still get analogue tv interference whatever you do! Satellite is cheap to obtain - as against the cost of any new aerial stuff - and fairly easy to set up, and you shouldn't get any problems like these. I don't know which channels you want, or - offhand - if RTE is subscription only on Sky. [/QUOTE]
