Verwood

Hi we have intermittent problems with our freeview, we live in verwood Dorset and the roof aerial is old but huge and on a pole because we are a bungalow. We are pointing at the IOW transmitter. There is some kind of booster and a powered splitter in the loft. At about 9 pm the signal cuts out, every day! It can be inconsistent at other times and cut out too. Could the amplifier or the aerial be on their last legs or can any one suggest anything else I can check please?

thanx jb38,
the arial it mounted with the spikes horizontal. Should I rotate 90 degrees do you think? everyone else in the neighbourhood seem to be similar to how mine is at the moment.
BTW most also seem to have dishes (sky)
cheers Muz.

hi again jb38 and RobP.
Just a quick update and huge thanks for all your advice! I have now turned the Arial thru 90 degrees and it has had a huge effect! all free view channels are now accessible. the commercial channels are 100% signal. Bbc are more like 75% but I no longer have signal loss at all. in the heavy wind and rain all I suffered was some pixelation
I AM ONE HAPPY PERSON THANX TO THIS FORUM :)
