Title: Terrestrial telly signal
Post by: 4D on Thursday, October 7, 2021, 11:56:09
For some reason mine has gone to shite. The aerial hasn't been moved. I have an aerial "box/splitter" in the loft which can connect around half a dozen cables. I think the box itself may be knackered.  Anyone recommend a decent splitter box, I need at least 4 connections. Ta.

Before you replace that, have you tried bypassing it to one TV to make sure that the signal is OK when it doesn't go through the box?

The only issue I suppose is that it may be an amplifier and the signal too weak without it...

Anyway no suggestions really, I use one of these which is fine for me - needs power (obvs). I guess I'd look at your current amplifier and make sure the "gain" matches the new one (this one is 10 dB)

I've got a spare 32 inch TV in the loft, I'll connect it to the aerial to see  :)
