Hi. I cannot get the Freeview HD channels on two of my 3 tvs. I am in IP8 3BW, only a few hundered metres from Bramford relay transmitter. I can see the transmitter from my roof, and my wideband roof aerial points directly at it. The downlead from the aerial enters my Sky + digibox "aerial in" and I have one RF out connected to my main Samung tv, and the second two tvs (Hitachi and Toshiba) are connected to the RF 2 out via a passive aerial splitter. On the main Samsung tv, i get a strong to very strong signal on all 3 Freeview channels: 21, 24 and 27. On the other two I get a strong to very strong signal on channels 24 and 27 but no signal on channel 21. The output from my Sky box is currently on channel 43 - I found that using a lower channel caused picture interference when watching Freeview with the Sky box on. Would an attentuator help?
