mycloud - you are not supposed to get anything on 39 but should get on 49.
Try a "factory retune" or "complete reinstall" of channels - names vary.
And trey retuning with no aerial at all - though your huge signal (95dBuV/m)

means you might still get something.
What ae are you using? Bent wire should be enough! (LL145HD)

Jonathan - dunno which way the attenuator goes - ask supplier/manufacturer? Or give details here to see if anyone knows.
If you have a good condition properly fitted properly earthed coax and a strong signal its position should not matter. So one of these does not apply. Can you describe where and how you move the coax to get changes? You do realise there will be a time delay between movement and seeing the result on the TV?

alloy IS metal, as is steel, and both are used for aerials.
Unless long, does not matter. Pole wisdom:

JM - like your antique antenna!
If your Filipine dish is pointed in the same direction as "our" satellites you need a Freesat box or old skybox. If it is NOT pointing right you can't get them.

Your signal is too weak for an indoor antenna so you are lucky to get what you get. Have you triued with it outside the window? Pointing 120 degrees - 90 is East, 180 South, so 1/3rd of the way south from east!
OR if window faces north, try due north for Waltham channel 61 for BBC.

pl - So you have a dish AND a conventional TV aerial on roof, connected to sky box, then forwarded?
Where is sky box? Downstairs I presume?
I do not know if sky boxes forward the incoming aerial signal on RF2 or not.
I presume upstairs TV has a freeview box/built in?
Try what happens with upstairs TV downstairs and v-v.

It may be that your amplifier is set too high!

MD - I personally have no idea - just quoting Brian!
Rob - try asking a LOCAL TV Aerial man, who should know local issues.
