Well for a laugh I stuck a coathanger in the end of the cable and retuned. Amazingly I have great picture but it only found BBC channels (seemingly all of them).
Oh well I have the snooker...

And by some happy coincidence, Google maps my postcode exactly on top of MY house rather than elsewhere on the street.
Not so good if terrorists/North Korea use Google postcode search for their missile navigation systems..

Originally posted by d000hg View PostWe have TV through roof aerial, but no socket on this floor. We have a sky dish (for freesat) but it's on the opposite side of the house... both are quite possible to solve but I don't want to get into such things while we're sorting out other things (like plumbing in the dishwasher, getting a new shower fitted, etc) If it were the living room it would be a priority but that room has sockets for satellite+TV already - I rarely watch TV in the office but the snooker's on...
