    Would you have been better to go with a sat dish for your FTA channels?

    A badly made connection or connections somewhere on the cable most likely

    A screw-on F-connector is regarded a superior connector over the old Belling-Lee co-ax plug, when properly made.

    I do have a dish and tv with a satellite tuner but as mentioned earlier there's enough on Freeview and Saorview for us. Apart from that I have a Freeview recording box which is ideal for the limited amount of stuff that would be recorded. Call me old school but I'm happy with the current setup.

    It's possible that the connections were faulty but this guy is very meticulous in his work so I would think he checked all those things. Of course it's also possible that it was the splitter but my old one was working fine beforehand and then wasn't after the new aerial and cable was fitted. It could be a fault in the splitter he used or as you say the connections but we will never know.

    Sat installer shoud have a meter for checking feeds for aerial as i had an attic one and at times would lose rte2 and turned out was a bad cable ,so i got him to stick up an outside aerial to fix the issue and never looked back with new cable also.
