Hi guys
My father has just e-mailed me.
He has an elderly Analogue aerial with standard 75 Ohm co-ax running to a TV with freeview digibox.
He would like to add another set with freeview.
From my own personal experience, I know in my area (SK7), the signal strength from such an aerial (I have the same) is sufficient to power three TV's with F/V boxes via a 4way SLx amp. He lives in M21.
I know the best scenario is to replace the ageing aerial with a digi aerial using cable with a foam di-electric & a mast-head amp.
However, given he has limitations with his existing aerial, what is the best way to boost the signal strength, or rather, limiting the losses, if required?
Which amps have the highest gain? I'm having trouble finding more than 6db per output.
Thanks for your input (forgive the pun..)
