jb38 - I tried channel 46 on one of the other televisions and there's no signal. Also tried the booster going to the other televisions and this didn't work either.
Going back again, prior to having my aerial replaced, I fed the aerial directly into the booster then split the signal between the Humax and the other room televisions. This worked perfectly for all the TVs.
After the new aerial was fitted, only the main television worked. I then replaced the booster with a simple splitter as suggested on here and I now get some channels but not all and no bbc.
It's clear then that the advice on here that I was splitting a poor signal when using the booster is correct because when I switched to a simple splitter, i got better results.
It's also clear that your conclusion that the signal level is just on the verge of being good enough is also correct.
My remaining issue is - why would this be ? ALL of the televisions worked before the old aerial was replaced - and with a signal booster.
As I've said before, by a process of elimination then the installation of the new aerial is the problem. The signal for some reason is now weaker than it was with the previous aerial. It's clear to me that, assuming it has been installed correctly, the new aerial which was fitted isn't as functional as the previous one. It may need to be raised - i.e. put on a longer pole. This may take the signal from not being good enough to being good enough.
