emz you have a plethora of possible Freeview sources at good strengths so you may be able to receive it with an indoor aerial - amplified or not. try a "Sketchley loop" (wire coathanger pulled into a square) or a wire in the coax socket centre.
The only way you just might get freeview from your sky dish is from the cable and the lump of metal. As an aerial it is the wrong sort pointing the wrong way.
Ask your neighbouts what they do. Or a local ae installer might tell you what you need - and how much! (LL145HD)

Carooline - I used to live at 111 Cornwall Road!

Have you asked your neighbours if they have the same problem?

V interesting Brian - seems a very positive conclusion!

My late father found digital radio very effective when flying over Germany in the early 1940s. Apparently they used to modulate the main Droitwich 1500m transmitter by switching the carrier on and off. Which would be detectable over the strongest of jamming.

He was the modem.

As Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

He also said "God doesn't play with dice." - denying quantum theory.

He was wrong.

Adey - well spaced - say 3ft - or different directions, or different types of ae can live close with no problems.

Why do you want a second?

Trevor I note that you are having problems with the more powerful Muxes. May be overloaded. Remove any amplification in your system, or try a cheap attenuator.

Adey try splitting the present aerial feed.

Easy if you have a coax from lounge to bedroom?
