Triax Digi 14 (TV aerial with 4G LTE filter)

[saladdays]

Dear All,

I've recently moved into a new house. The loft aerial from 1987 is a group B one. I now need a group W aerial and also a 4G filter. I'd like to buy a Triax Digi 14, but can't find a stockist. Where can I buy one? Or something similar?

Thanks.

I've installed that aerial. Now my TV receives everything 100% on all channels. But my recorder can't receive the highest frequency, UHF60. Any ideas? I wish I had a spectrum analyser!

What recorder?
Which aerial?
Did you fit a 4G filter that you stated you needed?

It's a V10-28L and it's in the loft. The aerial is looped through in the normal way. No filter installed.

What I don't get is why my Samsung TV says 100% signal quality on UHF60 but my Panasonic recorder says 0% (80% on UHF56 and 60% on UHF58).

Maybe there's a passive splitter inside the recorder as it does have a twin tuner?

How is your aerial connected to the various equipments?

From the information you've provided so far you live at (unknown postcode) and have a V10-28L aerial in the loft pointing through (slate/tile/brick?) connected via (?) cable directly to a Panasonic (unknown model) Freeview PVR then looped from that with (?) cable directly to your Samsung (unknown model) Freeview TV. You have no UHF amplifier, no wall socket, and your total run of (?) cable is less than (?) metres.

Please fill in the gaps so we might give a useful answer.
