Com 5 and Com 6 channels are at 955 rather than 98% even after our booster and still break up.
Please can they be 20kw rather than 10kw so we actually enjoy them without break up ....?
Thanks.

NIGEL: Yes of course, im sure they will happily spend another few million quid to double the power, upgrade the antenna and feeder cable. just because you dont know how to set your telly up!
95-98% signal strength is too much anyway, and probably made worse by your 'booster' which is probably overloading your set

Nigel:
The reason for the break up is that your signals are too strong! You should aim to have between 50% and 85% for SD services and between 60% and 85% for HD services. So at 95% you have too much of a good thing! Try adding an attenuator into the signal feed cables, being careful not top allow the weight of it to 'hang' on the socket at the back of the TV. Attenuators are available cheaply and range from 3dB upwards. Try a 3dB and have a 6dB available in case 3dB is not sufficient. When you fit it check what the signal strength is before and after fitting. Your aim is to bring it down to just under 85% on ALL channels.
