Just had a new tv aerial installed due to ageing cabling and a 15yo aerial. It was originally boosted by a box plugged into the mains and the setup was the same in terms of new and old wiring/cabling.The tv aerial comes into the house and into the back of a Panasonic hdd recorder, then passes through to the tv. When the Panasonic unit is in standby, I get all channels in the tv. When it’s being used ie on, it stops some of the channels being broadcast on the tv. Would a booster be the answer? It worked fine with the same setup before but now is being gay.

 

thanks

What happens if you bypass the Panasonic recorder?  Recorders usually boost the pass through signal.

Works fine if I bypass it. I’ve added a booster this morning and all works fine now. Cheers.
