Hi,
I'm in a poor signal area AB314RY for my 1st choice transmitter (Durris) but everytime a car goes past I lose TV signal for a few seconds, at the moment I'm using my 2nd choice transmitter (Knockmore) but it is very fringe and TV channels pixelates at various times of the day and a poorer choice of channels compared to my preferred 1st choice, my house is listed so no dishes allowed nor wanted. I have 2 no high gain 15db antenna's phased together.
Any thoughts on improving signals etc or would it be possible to get a deflector or repeater installed?
