Thank you for bearing with me. The main wire is split into 3 lines by QQ70M 4-way splitter. My own connection (bedroom) does not have any booster attach to it except the line that goes into the living room that does have one. There's no booster whatsoever on the main wire as well.
With regards to signals and quality, when I check the freeview hd box for signal diagnostics I found the signal range for channels around 28-30% and quality ranging from 53-100% with the exception ofcourse of itv3 (having low power at the moment until 27th). These diagnostics are from my own cable connection going to my bedroom.
Thank you for all your help.

Here are the results. Surprisingly using our main cable I got all the HD channels all in good form. Hurray! The signals for HD channels are around 28-29% (no booster at all) and quality varies from
0-36%.
But when I put back the telly in my bedroom with the newly retuned HD channels (HD box), produced horrible results. Quality flicker back and forth from 0-5%. Every 10 sec I got blank screen on all HD channels. Is this the result of the splitter? Do I have to replace it? I am not using any booster. Thank you for your patient.

Thanks for the replies. The results I replied before is for using freeview HD box + LCD TV on both locations (by-passed and split[bedroom]). But if you are suggesting to directly connect it to my telly, my telly only have freeview built in but not HD hence the need for hd box. Sorry If I confused you somehow.
The results clearly shows that I can scan HD channels tru by-passing the splitter but won't show HD on split cable.
My aerial is attached to a long pole connected via our fire escape stairs. we live in a flat area and living on the first floor. Currently it is facing at a bearing of 104°. If I'm going to face it 151 deg bearing, the aerial would be facing my flat's wall directly with just a few meters away from it. Will it be fine if I change the aerial's facing position eventhough it will be facing the wall directly? And for 2 months now there is a scaffolding constructed around the flat for re-painting purposes. Could this be the culprit of low signal reception?
I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

I have some good news. After being frustrated with the signals and all, I decided to rewire and re-positions all my cable connections and even moved my television to different spot. You wouldn't believe what happen next, I got HD reception in my split cable connection. Signal/quality varies 26-28%/54-65% on all HD channels. I didn't place any booster at all. Thank you all the support. Sorry for the trouble.

Hi
I bought Technisat Freeview HD receiver recently. I also have LG 32" LCD HDTV. Both before and after switchover, I have a good reception of standard digital channels but when I tried tuning for HD signals using my Freeview HD box, it seems it can't detect it.
I tried manually tuning to 682 MHz but only have a very low signal and low quality as well (one red bar). I live in Crowborough area and I'm currently using 32 element digital tv aerial; quite similar to this SLx 27887K 32 Element Digital TV Aerial + Kit: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics The main cable is shared to 3 TVs around the house. Can anyone help me on this? Sorry for english, not my first language. Thanks in advance. (TN61DL)
