We are in SE23 in London (SE23 1DL) and have just moved into a house with an aerial on the roof. It's on the highest point and looks to be pointing the same way as all others on the terrace (towards Crystal Palace).
We have just bought a Humax HDR-Fox T2 and the automatic search is resulting in only 10 channels (no BBC channels and one of the channels is "Gay Rabbit"(???)). I think the connector at the end of the aerial cable (don't know what it's called) is loose as we didn't find any channels at all until I moved the box and it pulled the wire a little taut, so this may be a problem. But repeated searches are still only delivering 10 channels. Will a booster/amplifier help us? Unfortunately I don't know what the previous occupants used to watch TV.
Also, can I change the connector at the end of the aerial without compromising the whole thing?
