Hi all. Looking for some advice. I moved into a new build a year ago and had a new aerial installed which has an 8 way amp which feeds a youview box in the lounge.
All was well until one day we lost all the BBC channels. The electrician came out and said the amp was faulty and replaced. All was well again. 1 month later we are having terrible reception problems on mainly HD channels. Our signal strength seems to show as around 50% strength and 100% quality but every now and again (if a car passes or plane fly's over) this shoots to 0% momentarily and picture breaks up.
I seem to have temporarily eliminated the problem by connecting the lounge only aerial feed direct to the aerial (bypassing the amp). This is not ideal as I can only use one TV and signal is too weak for the itv+1 and challenge TV channels of this world.
Do you think it's worth buying a new amplifier? Many state that they are screened and filtered against interference. I'm assuming it's the amp that is causing the fluctuations in signal.
Any thoughts would help!
Thanks
