Re: Which is the weakest station
If the aerial is the correct type, the connections are good, and the amp is working efficiently, there should be no noticeable difference in the signal strength between the digital muxes. The main problem with loft mounted aerials is that you lose a lot of signal by it passing through the roof, not to mention pipework/water tanks etc which can also be detrimental. I should imagine this system was put in for analogue and is just about scraping through.

However, as the problem is only marginal, an increase in the size of the aerial and some careful re-positioning may be all that's needed.
