After installing the amp pretty much all breakup at channel change was gone and looping was completely gone!

In all other viewing the picture is perfect except the very occasional breakup which again seems to cause occasional lockup/loop. So all in all much better but I still think that the lockups / looping shouldn't happen even if the signal does go bad for a few milliseconds, couldn't this be handled by TsWriter so that bad packets are dropped?
Hi, I'm just starting to setup UHF and am in a weak signal area. After your aerial equipment upgrades, what sort of signal strength are you showing on the bar graph in TV server? (Mine is currently zero )
