Hi Everyone
Recently moved to a property, with multiple TV outlets. With the help of a signal strength meter
(Horizon) an average reading of less than 40 dbv was noted at each point. Further investigation revealed a contract aerial held up with string, vertically polarised in the loft with a very ancient 8 way distribution amplifier. Did a check and the Wrekintransmitter is less than 20 miles away, so have now installed a Blake 56 element log periodic outdoor, horizontally polarised, feeding into a new Blake 8 output distribution amplifier. Signal strength from the antenna is 65 - 68dbv on the main multiplexes 23, 26, and 30 with around 58 - 60 dbv on 41,44, and 47. Whilst I now have a full range of channels, including HD, only 3 of the outlets will give Channel 7 Birmingham TV. Could this be down to actual coaxial feeds or connections to the other outlets? They are all plastered in the walls.
