just had a brill weekend in the dales but no reception againurgh. At home it tunes in thro the status aerial brill. I bought a strength meter to take the guess work out of tuning TV in. I had all the lights lit up indicating a good signal but no channels found. When you tr-tune the TV in a new area does the TV recognise the local TV transmitter or could it be trying to receive from the transmiter nearer home? Sooooooo frustrating. Obviously everything is working as tuning in at home is no problem

Will try that, my booster is either on or off with one switch and the other switch is high or low. So frustrating, found the perfect place to stay in the dales only 90 mins from home, would be brill to be able to watch a bit of TV. When strength meter lit up like a Christmas tree I thought we had cracked it

A strength meter only measures the strength of the received signal, not the quality, this applies to freesat and freeview. Quality at the receiver (or the tv tuner) is what really matters.
