I have an Elgato EyeTV for DDT connected to my Mac... prior to moving into this house it worked fine receiving all channels...

After moving here I had someone from these forums check out the antenna - he moved it to the roof peak, replaced cabling, put in new wall sockets etc. Digital and analogue reception is fine on our three TVs.

The EyeTV channel scan will not pick up channel 7 or 10 most times. It'll sometimes detect the channel but says "no signal" when I try to watch it. The other channels show signal strength of 60% and signal quality of 100% according to the software.

I am looking at a signal amplifier from Dick Smiths which claims a boost of 20dB (Cat No. L4690) and wondering if this is the answer to my problem...

Opinions please?

Ross,
The answers to these questions are regional specific.
Go to the Geographic Viewers’ Forum, which is near the bottom of the main forum’s home page. Select your region and read the pinned post “Get the Best Reception”. Please post any further correspondence in this strand for all in your region to see. I will see it anyway. You could also search your location in that strand for others in your area.
