[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1275484, member: 141969"] That is an interesting an unexpected result. :confused: Aerial amplifiers are optimised for a specific range of frequencies (just like aerials), but amplifiers usually cover the entire UHF band, from about 270MHz to 850MHz. With the removal of the amplifier, the reduction in the signal strength for the other MUXes is expected, but the improvement in the signal strength for the [i]Talking Pictures[/i] MUX is unexpected, so there may be some other factor involved. Possibly it was just oxidation on the plug and socket contacts, or the physical routing of the cables, and it will all work correctly again when you reconnect the amplifier. But if the problem persists, it would be worth trying a different aerial amplifier, if you have one available. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
