Well its all wired as it should be, basically aerial to the amp and then a coax from amp to each aerial point. You don't say if you get a signal on the others but essentially if the problem is just the bedroom I would check for certain by using a multimeter to bell the coax. Other than that, the amps can show as powered up but in reality as they are on 24/7 they can be fucked and doing nothing. You need a digital aerial and to check the signal from this a meter but if you look at other houses around the aerials will all point in the same general ddirection, if you put yours in a similar orientation in the loft you should get something. But you need it outside really, if its a poor signal area chances are you could get fuck all. We are in a good signal area but mine in the loft only just picks up enough and it breaks up in bad weather On 18th Oct, 2013 apbellamy said:

Hi Oli.. yes I have put the aerial in a similar direction (or as close to) as the neighbours. You say I need a digital aerial.. maybe then this is my problem? I found an old aerial in my dads garage when I was nosing there last week and stole it.. it's in fairly good nick but probably been stored there for many years & judging by the slight weathering I'd say up on a roof for a few years before that! So I doubt it's a digital specimen! |

Although.. I'm sure not many people changed their aerials when the switchover happened? I thought as long as you had a TV set that was digital your old aerial would be just fine? |

I get what you say about the old aerials but for the cost of it, just get a new digital one and put it outside, that's half the battle won then and future proofed. If you still having issues after that it can only be the amp, wiring or tv at fault which is easy to spot. Time to get tye ladders out, want to come put mine up? Lol On 18th Oct, 2013 apbellamy said:
