Thanks for the addition. I do use a good quality splitter, but not a powered one.

Mike O'Sullivan: Yes, but the point is though that "all" non-powered splitters reduce the signal no matter what the brand name might be, the test being to temporarily try the TV in the other room on the lead used by the main TV, or even just try by-passing the two way splitter by connecting the aerial straight into the extension lead, this slightly lifting the signal level.
Although neither test really simulates using a powered splitter which is always superior, although as aforementioned, its hardly worth the bother doing anything at this late stage as the situation will (or should!) be rectified on April 18th.
