[Dodgey]

Rumor is there, er not very good?

Why? Solutions, other than replace/drill another hole in the roof?

Si.

They are as near pufic as you can get if powered up correctly, some have mast head failure and folk think its a crappy arial, when working there 100% including Digital:thumb:

Really? We had a 12volt booster fitted to both of our RV's. It was the only way you could get a watchable ( I wouldn't say decent) picture?
As it happens, we've gone down the sat' route. Haven't watched the "big 5" for years now.

As Tony Santara will confirm if he sees this post despite being powered the aerial was as good as a piece of damp string, mast head Failure was diagnosed, (A Guess)

Yep I can confirm what Geo says...... couldn't get tap all on mine untill I changed the head, now got a picture to be proud of. :thumb:

Hi no complaints here either great picture and even digital in some areas after a little adjusting (rotation and elevation):thumb: possibly a silly question but you have switched on the signal boost?

Here is ours working fine in Swanage

Thanks all, haven't tried it yet, just wanted to get a feel for opinion having picked up on some negative waves about them.

ruffingitsmoothly, cheers, that saves me looking in the manual, or missing the obvious.

The connector looked to be a screw, rather than the usual push on, is it anything fancy or readily available?

Si.

Hi Dodgey

These are readily available as used on a Sky box you can also get adaptors to convert from push on to screw on like this one.

I'm sure that Maplins have them.
