OT: TV Aerial

[Pogue Mahone]

After last night's cataclysmic winds, my TV aerial is not working as well as it was - reception kicks out every now and then (well, quite regularly...). Most irritating.

So who is NSC's go-to-person for a problem such as this?

You'll be set upon by the youngsters on the board who have no idea what a TV aerial is but who will ask why you need a TV and are not streaming all your viewing needs.

I think I have part of it on my balcony. It's definitely the aerial, it affects whichever telly is plugged into it.

I got one of these which goes on the side of the house then I wired it myself. works fine. but it depends if you wanted to change the aerial completely

it comes with all the cables and connectors that you need. the signal where we live in Hove area is not so good because we are down in a dip and this works perfect.

He's the man for this thread, not necessarily the man for aerial issues.

So the connection that I have from inside aerial plugs to outside aerials - this is easily converted, yes? I have two TVs affected - both running off the same aerial, one upstairs and one down.

I don't want to promise things but it should be okay. I am going to buy a connector for this aerial so it can feed the tv in the upstairs bedroom as well as the downstairs tv. not sounding weird, but where do you live?

Thanks, that's kind. I'll give it a go first, then shout for help if (when) I need it!

I expect TV ariel engineer types are quite busy today.

Yes, I expect that they are.

I must see if I can find a thread about fences or roof tiles. I suspect all will become clear.
