[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 713971, member: 82144"] Hi there :) The first thing I recommend that you try is ensuring that the aerial is focussed. Most aerials have to be pointed in a certain direction, so try turning it one way or the other with someone down below to see if the issue resolves itself. After that, I suggest you test this logically with one change at a time using a process of elimination to find the issue. Potential causes of problems: 1. New location of aerial. 2. Splitter compromises signal quality. 3. Cable internet interferes with the TV signal. 4. Amplifier over-amplifies the signal to distortion. (5. New cabling???) Since you know the antenna worked on the chair with a direct connection the process for testing would be: 1. Does it work in the attic with a direct connection? 2. Does it work in the attic with the splitter (but no cable internet or amp)? 3. Does it work in the attic with the splitter and the amp (but no cable internet)? 4. If 3 fails, does it work in the attic with the amp (but no cable internet or splitter)? 5. Does it work in the attic with the splitter and cable internet (but no amp)? If the signal is too weak then you may want to consider moving the amp to be connected before the splitter...
