Also, when you say vertical aerial polarisation, do you simply mean that you turn the aerial through 90 degrees so that the aerial prongs point up and down? This would also mean that all other parts of the aerial assembly would be turned through 90.

Thanks. I only have strength, not quality. However, on Film4 which is one of the worst, signal strength is 68-72 but Bit error level is max at 2000, whatever that means. ITV2+1 is 58-62 but no but errors and not pixilated, so is there anyway of reducing the bit errors, like having 2 amplifiers in series?

Hi,
I am in SP6 2JX on the edge of the New Forest. I have just fitted a second roof mounted Group A aerial for a new extension. I am pointing to Rowridge but an only receive a pixilated image for PSB2, PSB3 and COM6 channels. The aerial is horizontally polarised but I am receiving good COM4 and COM5 pictures. I am boosting the signal and getting nearly 70db micro v, yet the original aerial with the same booster provides a strong 80db micro v. Should I look at increased boost or a class 1 aerial? Does aerial vertical inclination impact reception or should they always be horizontal? Should brown coax be acceptable? Sorry, just a little frustrated that the old analogue aerial with old coax is better than the new gear. Thanks. Adrian.
