Thanks for your reply, been looking for info on 'DM log' and not too sure but think I might try a log 36.
The 30 miles is correct, we are a good bit further west than Bedale, I just use it to stay 'under the radar' as our house is the only one on our post code .
It's a real pain getting to the signal info for each channel but they are all between 48 and 54%

Just put a Log 36 up (V good price from CPC) but not much difference, BBC 1 HD has gone from 54 to 56%, every channel still on 100% quality but apart from HD pics aren't anywhere near as good as through the sky box.
I was trying to check the cables and at the aerial I get a reading of 0.6 ohm between core and screen but get 5.6 ohm at socket in house, is that anything that might be causing a problem?
I also bought a cheap signal meter but I think it was a waste of money, needle was constantly jumping!
So will see if there is any difference when they finish working on Bilsdale.
Thanks for everything.

Thanks for all the input.
jb38, Not sure if it is what you are referring to but I did point the log 36 up a couple of degrees, from something I read here:
How To Attach / Wire Up Plugs & Aerials
So is the general opinion that 'this is as good as it gets' ?
