Hi all,
Trying to problem solve problematic Freeview reception and was hoping someone with a bit more experience could help.
Went up on the roof today and replace the old VHF antenna with a new UHF antenna. Upon closer inspection the VHF antenna was well past its use by date with a lot of corrosion around the connection.
Sadly after coming down off the room while reception does appear to have improve its not perfect. I'm primarily trying to tune with PC software For The Record and MediaPortal. Both are reporting maximum signal strength but average signal quality.
What could be the problem?? I assume I need to improve my signal quality?
When installing the new antenna we just reused the existing cabling, could this be the issue? Replacing the cabling will be a lot more effort so I'm apprehensive about doing it. I aligned the antenna to match everyone else in the neighborhood so I don't think its an issue with the antenna.
Any ideas?
Thanks
