Winter Hill Freeview problem


It probably goes back to 2001 from what I remember - which is old, but as I mentioned, it's fine on one TV in the same room, but not on the other, and they share a RF aerial, split between them. Surely if one was bad, both would be?

It also depends on the quality of each section of cable after it splits (one might be worse than the other) and one tv might be better than the other in terms of coping with a weak signal.


Yes, and also how is the feed being split ? A passive (non powered) device, powered booster with two or more outputs, or the wires just twisted together ? (The latter would cause no end of problems, and should NEVER be done)


Hi, it's a powered booster. I can set fire to milk, so I wouldn't want to try it with anything electrical Smile
