Storms and chickens

Thought I would ask on here first as Omleteers have a broad range of knowledge

 

Three years ago we moved into a semi rural house and had an aerial and several tv points installed, previous owners had sky.

 

The installation chap put a booster box on the main tv connection in the lounge, the other two do not feed off this booster. The main tv cannot pick up a lot of tv channels, the other aerial points have always workdd fine. We switch the booster box off at the mains and on again, the tv works for 24 hours then refuses to pick up the full range of channels.

 

Really not sure what is going on, I'v tried connecting tv straight to aerial but the connections to the booster box are different. We also had a new tv and it is behaving the same as the old one!

 

Any ideas?

I would maybe get an aerial guy out. Previous people here had Sky and OH persuaded me to go with new aerial and is it BT. We have never had perfect reception. OH then bought signal booster,not much good. Aerial chap came rechecked his aerial and sold us a more powerful booster saying one we had was rubbish. It works 90 per cent and always goes jumpy in middle of good drama esp if it’s raining?!? After persevering for 3 years sky man out next week. Perhaps you need stronger booster.

previous owners had sky.

Is the satellite dish still there? If it is, try freesat. Satellite TV for free (you will have to buy a set top box though).

Problem solved! Moved the tv to get to the booster box and channels came back, connection is loose!
