Hoping someone knows about TV distribution and can advise!
I live in a large development of 100 flats that were built in the 1980's.
We have 1 aerial up on the roof that comes down and goes through a series of boosters:-
it then gets split up up into 6 separate feeds:-
These feeds then go off into each block. Flats have been complaining about signal strength for years.
I am wondering if our boosters are designed for analogue system instead of digital/freeview?
To test that theory, i got a Digital signal strength meter (SLX DVB-T Signal meter) and plugged it into my socket in my flat, it read 50 (the lowest reading), i then plugged it in the distribution room before the boosters (it reads 60 with the 70 slightly flickering), i then plugged it into the output from the boosters, and it read 80 (highest reading), so presumably it is boosting the digital signal, but i was curious as to what people on here thought.
Unfortunately, as the cables coming out of the splitter are hardwired in, i dont want to disconnect one to hook up to my signal meter.
Grateful for any advice.
