POOr ANALOGUE SIGNALL,,I live in N Ireland and have a reasonable reception for Uk analogue channels, BBc, ITV

Question

etc. Problem is when the weather turns wet and windy my picture deterriorates rapidly. When its dry and bright it returns to normal. Quality would drop from 8/10 to 2/10. Any idea what is causing this. My rooftop ariel is about 25 years errected.. I also pick up the Irish channels on a different wavelength, but the weather dose not effect them. Thanks Charlire

Answer 1

after 25 years your rooftop aerial will be corroded and the insulation on the coax cable running down from the aerial completely worn out and as a result water gets in the cable when it rains and shorts the signal. check the aerial plug connecting to your tv, the inside will be corroded.

you will probably need the whole system replaced: aerial, cable,pole and lashing+bracket.
