Ariel booster problems?

Question

a few months ago i installed an ariel booster. i have 2 tvs running off it, one with freeview, one on anologue tv. the signal was really bad before then when i installed it it was fine, about half the signal bar was full. now it is back to how it used to be, and occasionaly freezing. i have checked all the connections etc and they are fine. i have the proper metal connectors, not the c**ppy ones with a plastic casing.

Answer 1

Some of the signal actually comes through the cable itself.

Have you moved it or put something near it/on it.

When my signal goes like yours I check the connections like you but I also play with the way the loose part of the cable is routed till I find a better signal.

Answer 2

Urgh I bought one too - mine also keeps freezing :o(

Going to buy a huge ariel for outside instead -

hopeless and a waste of money

Mine wasn't cheap either!

Good luck!!

Answer 3

The signal strength varies according to the weather. In summer I managed to tune in Channel 5 but there is no signal now. First step would be to see what aerials are used in your neighbourhood - not boxes of Arial washing powder.

Answer 4

it sounds like the booster has had it

try another one of a different type (you can always take it back if if does no good)
