Signal Boosters

Hi,I have weak signals on a couple of channels in freeview and I wondered if a signal booster would sort it out for me,I was looking at them in Maplins today at £24.99 and thought it might be an answer.What do you think ?

We bought a cheap(ish) one when my partner lived in a marginal signal area and it fixed the problem instantly.

Maplin Signal booster

I have just bought and installed a wide gain aerial from Maplin
£24.99 -the full kit
There was a amplifier fitted to the aerial and a booster signal box with ther kit.

I could not get Chhannel 5

I get a full strength signal on every channel
