The aerial is a RX20 which is pointing to crystal palace (on 6ft pole (chimney) i have a philex mains booster (4 way) going to three bedrooms ,the other tvs are working ok (freeview built in..no boxes).My labgear signal finder is showing only 2 green lights (there is a max of 4 green lights on finder)) if i plug the aerial straight from aerial into labgear signal finder... and still only 2 green lights even thru philex booster..can you advise please..thanks tony... ps i have heard that crystal palace transmitter is going to boost the signal sometime in may 2012 is this correct

tony: JB thanks for info, done as you suggested (morning) and this is what i found ,all of the suggested mux numbers were showing 27% except 34 which was 20%..i then (afternoon.as i work nights) went in loft and disconnected all 3 leads from the philex signal booster.and then connected the single aerial lead to the humax ...the humax was showing on mux channels 10% strength and no quality..i then connected just the humax aerial lead to the booster and got 20% strength and 100% quality on humax box.i then connected all 3 aerial leads thru booster as it was originally...still humax 20% strength quality 20%..i seems that the strength (humax 27%)) is more in the morning and tails off to 20% in afternoon.
my postcode is CM18 6TP
thank you for info much appreciated...tony

hi...i run my freeview thru a humax 9200t box and have lost count of how many times i have had to retune in last 2 weeks..itv ,channel 4,channel 5 were impossible to get here (harlow) lets hope after the 18th of april it gets better,my rx20 aerial is pointing to crystal palace but i think sandy heath may have been a better option...Here in harlow the crap virgin media are only giving the 5 usual channels thru their pipelines to homes...how do they get away with it!! they should be FORCED by government to give all freeview channels,They took over from NTL ..WHAT a shambles..i blame the councils for letting these companies do what they want
