I live on Anglesey , @ 10 miles from , which is within sight of my house. Have had intermittent breakup since was turned off. is in linked to a Labgear CM7274 amp which distributes to 4 tv's around the house. Could the breakup be due to signal overload? I was thinking of fitting a variable attenuator, but where would it go? Does it have to be on the lead from the aerial to the amp/distributor (both in the loft, so not so easy to adjust)? Or could I plug the attenuator on the socket to the main tv, which also carries 12v dc from the powersupply next to the main tv to the amp in the loft?

Thanks JB38. So, just to check I've understood correctly what you've said, I should just use a short piece of solid wire to bridge the inner core connectors of the input and lead to tv. Should I also unplug the supply downstairs?

On the one tv I have which gives bars concurrently with the I have seen the quality (but not signal level) drop as the picture breaks up. I'll report back on what we get on the bypass .
