[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 240587, member: 175057"] I've recommended putting a masthead amp on the downlead of the good aerial [B](not the bad one)[/B], the one that does receive all of the multiplexes well. It doesn't need to go on the mast, although the closer the better, but I have used them to great effect four or five metres from the mast to facilitate a split to two or more locations. The digital signal is not as fragile as was originally suggested and below threshold signals from an aerial can be quite effectively amplified to above threshold levels, without the predicted very high bit error rates. Yes, of course a new high gain aerial is the best solution, but even that may still need amplification when it is required to feed more than one outlet, so trying a masthead and splitter on the good aerial is a lower cost alternative.
