    Default Bad Reception

    I live in an area that is not covered by freeview, however i can pick up a resonable reception most of the day, the trouble is that i lose reception after about 9pm, ITV / Channel 4.

    Can anyone suggest a way of increasing the signal without changing the ariel.




    Cheers

    you will req ...

    a) coax replacing ( may have water damage or screening probs )
    or
    b) purchase of a wideband ariel and it mounting externally as high up as possible and pointing in the general direction of the transmitter

    it sounds like something is happening at 9 like an appliance being turned on (boiler maybe ?)

    replacing cables, trying a signal booster, loop the aerial cable through the vcr then into the stb, getting a new aerial are the things I'd try
