I have had good results using my current aerial which is a B&Q broadband, medium gain (12 element) one with a B&Q signal booster. I am about 20 miles from the transmitter on the Isle of Wight. With this setup I have no problems with signal strength, in fact I can insert a 18 dB attenuator and still get good pictures. If I remove the amplifier (21 dB) then I start to get errors and dropped frames, but with that setup my analogue TV is also quite noisy.
Buy a booster for �15 and see how it goes. Pete -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
