this statement is wrond!!!!! you need a better antenna then for analog quite often with booster, reason: 1) less power on transmitter 2) digital tv is more sensitive to interferences 3) digital tv is within the same frequency range as the old analog (180 to 700 mhz) i normally suggest the second or largest antenna, in many cases in the metro the houses are on a down hill side pointing to the beach thus less reception...... your antenna should point toward kalamunda & morley areas, eg in the Girrawheen area i had to fit the largest available antenna (vhf & uhf combo) plus a 30db booster, since that installation the customer has now perfact dtv reception on 3 tvs in the house if you move house then check if there is a optical cable connection, you may have dtv on that one..... in the Clarkson area i found a dtv connection within the optical box for the phone & internet, the signal was strong enough to feed 3 tvs through a passiv 4way splitter James SAD Technic U3 6 Chalkley Pl Bayswater WA Australia +618 9370 5307 mob 0414 421132 (international +614 14421132) [email protected] http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~saddas/ Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.
