Hi all

I want to get freeview in the bedroom as the indoor aireal i tried doesnt recieve much. I have freeview downstairs in the living room at the moment. I have been reading the forums and belive it is best to get the booster/splitter as close to the aireal as possible but my cable runs down the roof and down the wall into the front room.

As that is the closest point i can get the splitter will it be ok to have it behind the tv were the cable comes in and then run a cable from there up to the bedroom?

Thanks

If your signal strength is very good you can spilt it wherever is neatest. If you split it outdoors make sure you get an outdoor splitter.

As mentioned without knowing signal strength it's impossible to say. If you use a splitter get a good quality one such as "Antiference" Many of the cheap ones are simple resistor based with high losses. Nothing lost in trying one.
If it doesn't work then you need a distribution amp (Maplin/Argos etc) downstairs where the aerial comes in. Remember you are not after amplifying the signal as such, you just want a low gain distribution amp.
