Will an aerial booster improve my freeview reception?
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV No, an amplifier won't normally help with a Freeview signal. Can I suggest the following:
1. If you can raise the aerial up by an extra metre or so;
2. Check the direction of the aerial and that the it is either "vertical" or "horizontal" as required.
3. Check that all the connectors and cables are in good condition, look especially for stray wires from the outer shielding on the cable being loose;

MikeP: Thanks for your help but all seems to be sorted now. I ended up buying another aerial (from B&M Bargains) that can be used indoors or outdoors. We currently have it installed inside & it is working fine and we now have lots of channels!!

Roy: AT800 is the organisation set up to provide free filters to resolve interference caused by mobile phone masts which have been upgraded to 4G using frequencies which were formally used for TV. If you have recently started getting interference on Freeview, give them a call and they'll check if there are any 4G masts likely to affect you and send out a free filter which plugs in to the cable coming from your TV aerial.

An aerial booster can work with the under powered COM7 and COM8 mux. I have a booster that allows me to pick up theese channels from my outdoor aerial on a TV whereas without it it won't. I am 10 miles from Crystal Palace. For less than 10 it is worth a try especially when compared to the 100s to install a new aerial.
