Teresa .you Don't need a booster . But you do need a good splitter to drive 3 tvs from one aerial. Or is this what you're calling a 'booster' ?

Ian it can be that your dish has shifted slightly . It still may read "strong signal " if it is picking up the wrong satellite . Also It can be the LNB (signal head) going bad and generating "noise".

John Morgan ....pop max is on a relatively weak channel so I think your aerial system is probably ok. I would try a full retune .

I think Chris is correct . The checker shows that Tracy should get a strong signal from Sudbury on all channels . However Tacolneston and Sandy Heath transmitters are also in range though weaker signal. Its possible that Tracys aerial is pointing at the wrong transmitter .
I think I would check that the aerial is pointing at Sudbury . And manually tune the channels. Auto tuning may pick up the wrong transmitter. Use the channel numbers Chris mentions .

Carol .You live in a fairly weak signal area . You really need a good outdoor aerial.

You should get a strong signal from the south west direction . I think i would use a small well made outdoor aerial .
In doors in this area you may be getting your signal through a stone wall . An amplifier might help if you insist on an indoor aerial. . A small log aerial might work better as it perhaps could be placed higher up in the loft looking through tiles rather than wall.

I agree about the reflections . A loft position that is ok for one frequency maybe bad for a different frequency .
And some "hi gain" big aerials that would work well in open air become low gain next to walls or metal work indoors .
Also the area is very hilly . Ideal for all sorts of interfering reflections !
An outdoor aerial at Ainthorpe . A similar distance to the transmitter , needed an amplifier to reliably get all channels from Bilsdale .

Lee Donaghy: Yes c36 is wrong . I believe that the channel plan was changed at the last minute . This website covers all of uk so there has not been time to bring it upto date. You can find the channels on the coverage checker website .32 39 42 43 45 46 55 56
