    Default PVR not picking up all channels advice please

    hi
    I'll get straight to the point.. bought a new PVR Humax 9300T and it seems it cannot pick up all the channels, had the same problem with previous PVR.. mainly ITV and Channel 4.. checked both boxes at a different address.. just accross the road and both boxes pick up everything possible with freeview..
    so it must be combination of aerial and cable..

    I have done some research and come to this..

    Triax 52 aerial & Belden Webro WF100 cable

    will this be a solution to my problem?.. or can someone provide an alternative combination?
    many thanks in advance

    Hi if you are still using the aerial you used for analogue and it is a few years old The i would suggest buying a digital aerial either the one you suggest I bought one for £17 from B&Q or argos cant remember which as i had same problem and fixed everything used same cable but i believe you would be better with the newer stuff as it has less interferance problems.

    pm me your adress and I will send you a few rf plugs and f cons.. have a play... to be honest a triax unix 52 element Wide band aerial should not have any problems would change the cable and keep the "unix 52" aerial saving yourself a few quid

    top man flanflinger! good to see you back..
    thanks for the offer PM on it's way..should you want any payment just let me know..

    I have the cable only at the moment and was going to upgrade to the aerial soon.. it seems the main culprits are ITV & CH4 stations??

    PS// did you get your sign sorted?.. if it's any use to you I think I still have the artwork I did from your original post.. If you want it I'll send it to you for a signshop to produce for you..

    cheers again!
