[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 12949, member: 175057"] You'll need a wideband antenna, a good rule of thumb as to how much you need to spend is to look around and see what everyone else has, particularly the newer ones. You can buy a wideband high gain antenna for around £30-£40, don't go to Maplin, have a look in Yellow pages under Aerial services and you'll find a wholesaler or large installation company to sell you one, that is of course if you are able to install it yourself. Always good to replace tha cable as well when installing, if you require any amplification, then a masthead amp is best, it can be powered from anwhere in the house via the down cable. Set back amplifiers are generally a waste of time if you are trying to pull in a sub standard digital signal, as you say, it cannot amplify what isn't there. They can however be used in the loft if you are looking to distribute tha signal, as you are fairly close to the aerial and the signal should be better quality [/QUOTE]
