Hi frank there are no problems with winter hill so you might have a problem with your tv aerial but without knowing where you live it is hard to say.

Deedee if you are just going to get normal freesat not freesat + that should be fine as you will normaly have a quad lnb this will let you run 2 extra coax leads to the 2 extra bedrooms if you want 2 freesat + boxs you will need 4 extra coax leads 2 too each bedroom and a octi lnb these are can cost so you can make your own choice hope this helps

Robert a simple question why carn't you have an outdoor aerial instead of an indoor aerial. Your problems proberly have nothing to do with too much signal as the signal has to travel through your walls befor it gets to the aerial if it is amplified all it will do is increase the signal strenght but not the signal quality. Indoor aerials are poor and they can work in sime bedrooms ie upstairs downstairs they have more things for the signal to get through. people on this site seem quiet happy to tell people to get antenuators but in most cases they arn't needed an un amplified aerial giving signal over 75dbuv will give perfect pictuers but an aerial with 35dbuv and a 30db amp = 65 dbuv and break up of signal. so robert if you can have an outside aerial fitted for yourself if you are scared of hights and want the job done right.

Didnt know there could be other problems is the apartment made of lots of steel or is the insulation in the walls foil or foil backed plasterboard if so the signal will allways be poor. One other factor if you are very close to the transmitter the signal will just go straight over head and no type of aerial will pick it up .

dave having a low power transmitter is not allways a bad thing. When a transmitter goes on high power it can mask a problem i go to lots of houses that only have very mild problems only to find water pouring out of the coax from breaks or broken caps. So informing people to wait till it is high power is not allways the right answer if the coax comes direct from the aerial people should allways look for rust, a milky white aroumd the plug or just water, this allways needs atention straigth away. One last thing please stop advising people to check there aerial some stupid people will think it is fine to clamber over there roof puting themself at risk a little bit of knowledge is a dangerious thing.

Gary a few things to check first there are two parts to coax inside solid core and out side brade the brade should not touch the inside that should be held back by the clamp in the plug. If your plug has a small screw remove it they can cause a short. Does the coax run direct from the sky box to the magic eye if it has an amplifier between is it a bypass amp if not the amp will have to be changed to one with a sky bypass one last thing is the power on from the receiver and is the coax in the rf2 hope this helps.
