I'm getting 100% for some channels that I would normally get 60% for signal strength, would you say that these are fake percentages?
-
Getting 100 % for strength and quality on the main six mux channels, however there are some channels like five select for instance that have picture issues and are not 100% quality and strength unlike the main 6 mux channels. The booster has a gain of 23db.
-
Thanks so much for all your help Roy.
-
Btw the booster has been fitted and so far is working well with steady signal strength.
-
Where does it tell me the upstream?
-
I think that must be a flash that looks like there's something in the centre of the wall socket.
-
But is that not the reason for buying a booster to boost the signal strength?
-
So I'll get a M to M lead.today, take it from the booster to the YouView box and hopefully it should all come together.
-
Here's a clearer picture of the wall socket and the end that fits it, it's clearer to show that the wall socket is female as you said.
-
It's a new build and the socket was pre installed, here's a picture of the wall socket that leads ultimately to the aerial and the cable is behind the wall that goes up to the loft.

Hi Roy, So I just require to purchase a male to male cable similar male end size as my male black coax image, and you say that should fit into the antenna in port on the YouView box? That male image end should fit in the aerial antenna input on youview, am I right with this? Edit: I've tested inserting the male cable end…
-
I can already record 2 and watch a third as the box is connected to the television by an HDMI cable. So, what exactly do I need to ask for so that I can attach the aerial cable to the booster and have a coax lead from the booster out to the antenna in on the YouView box?
-
Hi Roy, Please see attached 2 pics, one is the booster and the other is an antenna lead male to female connector, the problem being the male connects to the booster but the female end doesn't fit to the antenna in port on the YouView box. Can you help please with the pics? I take it the connectors in my pic are different…

Asking BT for a refund would mean BT probably asking TSG to remove their previously installed aerial, as I don't wish these cowboy installers anywhere near my home I'd say that's a no no. This whole Freeview aerial scenario is making me hope that Virgin will have their services in the area soon.
-
I paid BT for a working aerial installation, wasn't given an option to have it external, it could have been but wasn't, engineer was poor, didn't give much confidence on what he was doing, reception was really poor, so called BT and they sent another bloke who decided to go for an aerial that was more suited for lofts…
-
I certainly won't be allowing TSG anywhere near my property again.
-
Total Support Group (TSG) are who BT use for aerial installations. They refuse because they want to charge for the last visit but the agreement was that they needed to inform me first which they didn't that there would be a charge, and they said they would not attend again.
-
I'm simply not happy with the aerial in the loft and it's not the normal one as the chap from TSG changed it for one more suitable for lofts. Thing is the main mix channels are starting to go for a couple of seconds which isn't really good enough. TSG have been a nightmare so I'm not sure what to do as they refuse to come…
-
Thanks, I'll try one of those boosters and see what the results are.
-
Normally the signal quality is 100% and as I type this the signal strength for channel 101 for BBC1 is moving between 71 and 72%, I have no issues with that however I often experience the channel going complete black screen for a second then come back on again, I've tested and it wasn't related to one particular channel…
-
Where about are the bookings?
-
Ah ok, is there only one kind of youview box?
-
Is there any way to know exactly which transmitter my loft aerial is pointing to? I currently get 160 freeview and 104 subscription channels from either the Blackhill or Craigkelly transmitter.
