As hubby is on the verge of taking his shotgun to the aerial/tv/freeview box in the MH I thought is maybe time to ask for some friendly MHF advice!
We have the old Status 315 that does NOT say digital on it with the Visionplus VP1 amplifier that also does NOT say digital on it.
Does this make a difference missing one small word to the newer ones?!!
When we are on site out and about we can either get a perfect picture on BBC channels or a perfect picture on ITV channels but never both!
The one that doesnt work stutters and we get a broken picture - even more so if one of us remotely moves!
We have to resort to getting out the external aerial to pick up the missing ones and then change it again if we change channels - not a proper one - you know the one you would usually stick on your TV; and the have to hang it on the back cycle rack which I think looks very attractive and a little like a gypsy van (I worry in case I am asked for lucky heather and have none)
We have bought a new Freeview box today - still the same, new cables - still the same so we are thinking now it must be the crappy ariel?
So.... is it because it doesnt say DIGITAL on it that it is extra special crappy or just because it IS extra special crappy?
I am thinking about:-
a) Replacing it with a Status 530/540 but will this solve the problem?
b) Letting hubby at it with the shotgun Link Removed but think it may make a mess of which I will end up tidying up or ..
c) Take up stamp collecting or knitting but at 45 I am feeling it is a little
before my time and I do like Emmerdale!
Any advice will as usual be greatly received and hopefully understood!:thumb:
:thanks2:
