Default Dual tuners loose signal

After doing a bit of checking I decided that as you say the antenna would
probably need changing and I would also need new cable as that was not done
the last time.
Due to the cost of that option I though it worth the risk of wasting £20 on
a 4 db two way amp and some 75 ohm terminators on the unused sockets .
And it worked! I have all the TV and radio stations with the two that I had
with the single tuner.

Ok - glad it worked - but it will be interesting to see if you get any problems
from interference (or when the weather changes)
Though I suspect in the long run I will need to re-cable as the stuff in the
walls and to the antenna must be at least twenty years old.

Mine was about 30 years old and I replaced it with a decent sat grade when I put
up a new aerial. Made an enormous difference to the reception and the double
screening on the coax prevents interference pick-up. Total cost was about £40.
