Hi than for replying I can't have my aerial facing Waltham cause I'm in a block of flats at the back and the bloke who put my aerial up said he had not got a pole long enough to point the arterial over the top of the roof to face Waltham by the way this aerial goes directly in to my flat and is not shared with anyone else

Hi again yes I can pick the Waltham signal up but it goes from 28% to 98% up and down like a yo yo and of course picture break up so one second strong signal then back down low.by the way these engineering works they are doing at the Sutton Coldfield transmitter is it any thing to do with this new mobile phone 4g service so it doesn't interfere with the tele frequencies or just routine maintenance do you no cheers thanx

I will tell you also my set up is I have a free view humax HD recorder fox t2 500 GB and a Samsung television with HD built in as well the BBC channels are fine through my TV tuner but not ITV as I have said in other email but if I take aerial out of back of humax and plug direct to TV aerial ITVis fine and stable as is wwatching ITV through humax tuner when aerial goes through humax first picture breaks a little now and again but still you can watch no prob and same with HD channels through both tempory loss some time but pic comes back perfect that's it basically

My humax recorder was about 76% signal strength and my Samsung TV at 100% but with bit error rate at 2000 right across in the red now I have just changed my aerial cable that comes from the booster to the humax its a lot thicker cable and ITV 4 5 and all others on that frequency seem to be OK at the most with the signal strength on both to be between 38% to 40% is that high enough please let us no than for your help

Hi again mike right my signal went back to 100% after changing that cable last night now I have taken your advice and bypassed the booster so the aerial no goes straight in to the back of the humax but the signal is now only 35% or there about HD is about 30% through the humax instead of 75% with booster and tele is between 68% to 74% picture is now fine but my humax instructions say you at leat near 30% for stable sound and picture when its foggy or snowing misty etc will my sinal drop even more in the humax hence problems with signal again and I'm in a poor signal area hence that's why I had booster what do you think please let me no cheers guys
