Up untill recently my freeview signal was reasonable, until that is i altered the position of the TV and added an extra loop to another room (giving 3 outputs). Consequently the signal in the main lounge now stutters accassionally and reception falters, and one of the rooms (the newer one)doesnt receive signal.
As Im looking at replacing the antenna anyway, I was looking at either

(vhf and uhf combo)
to replace the existing one.
The question I have, is using a stronger antenna to start with (the first one above) goin to strenghten the signal or give a better signal before going to the splitter? Or am I wasting my time and simply better off somehow affixing a masthead amplifier to the existing antenna?
Im in palmy (unsure as to how strong the signal is anyway) and the existin uhf aerial is a sky installed job (with the cabling running down the roof line, strapped to a downpipe and then under the house).
Any advice is appreciated, Cheers, Simon
