Hi i live in IP19 8JT. my problem is that my downstairs tv is unable to revive good quality channels on the D3+4 multiplexe. but my upstairs tv is fine. both have built in freeview. the ariel comes into the loft into one of those 1 to 2 white co axil splitters. upstairs goes back outside ,through the wall and straight into back of tv (all new cable.)

Downstairs goes from splitter into cavity, to an unscreened face plate (old cable), which is wrongside of room so around 3m of high quality new co axil cable then into a backset amplifier, then into tv. all over channels have high signal strength and quality.

Am going to fit a screened back plate tonight but does anyone have any more suggestions on how to gain these channels? don't think i will be able to replace old cable as i live in rented house. (sorry about spelling)

Mike thanks for the reply.

I have this behind my tv.

It seems to have improved my signal as before no D3+4 channels now breaking up picture and sound (sometimes)

Am i able to buy a Battrey powered boster to act as a splitter in the loft? if yes what one would you recommend? as its rented getting power to a booster in the loft may be a problem.

The current face plate is very old i believe and i think the soldering is cracked could this be the fault? and i hav bought this Labgear Screened Flush Coaxial Socket | Screwfix.com
do you think this will help improve it?
