New TV lags ie: ghosting cable run 2mtrs
Spare room Sony LCD cable run 25mtrs no issue

It's highly probable from your description, you are overloading the tuner.... the question is.. why you have those amps?

It's impossible to know exatly what your signals are doing without accurate signal measurements, at the antenna, inputs to the amps and splitters and at the outlets.

Do you know of any cheap antenna guys around the Yarra Valley area VICTORIA

Suggest if you are looking for a cheap antenna installer that your time is clearly not a precious commodity as their is not either.  Best of luck, as skill will probably not come into it.  MTV is not cheap either, most people on the forum are informed and educated installers.  Calling someone cheap is generally an insult.  Why not buy a cheaper TV and get your antenna fixed next time?

Not personally, but cheap installers keep me in business, fixing their 'cheap' installations.

I wasn't cruel enough to give him a list of cheap installers, all the same it would be an interesting experience for the guy
