I doubt very much that my aereal is the cause. When I had the goodmans installed by the BBC switchover rep he had to insert a signal reducer to the back of it as I was having problems with it and he said too strong a signal can cause problems, it's just a tiny thing that plugs between the aereal and the tuner.I won't have time to check the goodmans as I'm going away for a week but will do so on my return.
I'm in the Yorkshire area.Boosters are really simple to attach. Just plug the aereal into the 'in' socket and a lead from the 'out' socket to your freeview box. The ones I have seen though have their own power supply.
I got through to the technical team via the general RNIB number 0207 3881266 Martin william lomas recently said:-
