Below are all of john's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.So like I said earlier my TV is still OK so the signal has gone from100% signal to around 68% to 74% and the humax from 75% to 36% since I have bypassed the booster just hope my humax records my programmed later if not I found a old booster with variable signal strength on it what do you think because of the signal difference between the humax and tele cheers

Well guys thanks for your advice but since my aerial goes straight to my humax now not through any boosters first the picture is stable and good at the most by the way it wasent a booster it was a masthead amplifier under the aerial outside what the areal was plugged in to was the power supply for it we will just see how it goes now

All I've done is disconeted the power supply in my property which powers the masthead amplifier I've not touched the masthead on the pole

Just put power supply back on like you have just said and things have gone back to how they hence problems and signals gone even lower still humax now in the 20% region as 75% last time booster on file was100% now around 50%iI think I am going to have to get some one out to have a look also I thinking about getting sky or virgin TV much more reliable than freeview

Yes I did check the signal before and after just as a matter of interest if the supply power has gone faulty for some reason could you use just a originally TV booster to power the mast head amplifier the markings on the power unit say antiference p1200 230v-50hz basically

Just a update people my picture break up etc could be to do with 4g mobile interference I have rang them and they done some diaonostic checks with me and said that is more than likely the problem so a engineer is coming out Monday to do some tests and if any problem is found they are going to fit me a filter which will sort the problem out

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
