All,
Need a bit of advice/ instructions. Hade an aerial company out to fit a new aerial and 4 way mains booster in my house. Although not perfect job was done however, because there was no mains power in loft the aerial guy fitted the booster in one of the spare bedrooms which looks a monstrosity (socket off wall and loads of aerial wire on the floor) and said he would be back to put in loft when I get mains power up there.
Spent an hour running mains to loft after he left but after three weeks of trying to get hold of the guy again (company telephone number has been changed/ disconnected) I have no option but to try and sort it myself.
Currently I have:
1. A Wolsey WPS 100/1 12v 100mA mains booster connected to an aerial wire in the spare bedroom
2. A black box in the loft. At one side of the box you have the main aerial wire coming in from the roof and on the other side of the box the four internal aerials in row
According to the guy that half fitted the booster, it is a pretty straight forward job moving booster upstairs but he would need to change all the wiring around....
So does anyone have any idea what I need to do – my questions are as follows:
1. Do I now need to connect the main aerial wire from roof into the ‘in’ socket on the booster (which I can now plug in in the loft)?
2. Do I then need to run a second aerial cable from the ‘tv’ socket of the booster into the black box?
3. Will everything work then?
Thoughts appreciated, am I on the right tracks...?
