| The main point of an aerial
amplifier, signal booster etc. Is to amplify the whole signal (this means
all the frequencies within the range). Of course this can amplify any
interference too. So, you need to make sure you have a good signal to
begin with. Check your aerial is correctly aligned and any masthead amplifier
(if you have one is working properly).
A common cause of interference is the coaxial cable from the aerial to your TV. The cables can fill with water (especially old cables), and sometime long cables (especially if not well shielded) can act as giant aerials picking up all kinds of interference. Adding an amplifier can sometimes make things worse. One way improve things is to rewire with new good quality shielded cable and/or to locate the amplifier as close to the aerial as possible so you are not amplifying the interference. This is why aerial amplifiers are often found in lofts. Putting an amplifier next to the TV with the poor signal will only amplify the poor signal. You can also use masthead amplifiers which amplify the signal at its strongest point (the aerial itself). |

Labgear MS512E 12 Way Multiswitch Non Technical This multiswitch is of a type used usually in hotels, small blocks of flats, multi occupancy shared houses etc. You can connect up to four different satellite dish inputs and a aerial input. The multiswitch distributes all the signals down one cable and then each room or flat has a satellite decoder box or a Freeview box to decode the TV signal. If you want to you can even add DAB Digital Radio and/or FM radio signals to the aerial by using a PSF310 unit, which combines these signals into one. Technical This
self-contained multiswitch is intended for stand-alone use in smaller
Integrated Reception Systems (IRS). These compact switches have enhanced
filtering to overcome the problem of LNB noise bleeding through on the
UHF spectrum and increasing the noise floor. In addition the switches
have increase isolation between the IF inputs which reduces the risk
of missing Low Band channels. This range of switches is a cost effective
solution for small to medium IRS systems. Gain controls are provided
on all inputs, allowing the switch output levels to be set to optimise
delivery of weaker DTT multiplexes whilst not overloading receivers
with excessive analogue signal levels. Professional
multiswitch. More information on the Labgear

SLx9dB, SLx15dB, SLx 26dB and Power Supply
The SLx range of UHF TV antenna preamplifiers
are designed for the professional aerial installer and the competent
DIY installer. The SLx Masthead Amplifiers are great for areas with
poor signal strength or when you would like to receive an out of area
transmission. Many people make the mistake of assuming that a 26dB amplifier is going to be what they need because as it is the most powerful it must be best. In fact, too much gain can be as bad as not enough. You may need to do some research, as the boost that you need depends upon your distance from the transmitter, which transmitter it is etc. You can find out a lot on the Internet and you could also always try asking your neighbours what they do, the chances are if you have TV reception problems they do too. The connection for these amplifiers (and the power supply) is an ordinary push on coaxial connection. The exception to this is the F-Plug versions 9dB and 26dB. This is ideal if you want a connection that is super-secure. An F-plug coaxial connection screws on. If you need F-Plugs that can be crimped on to your coaxial cable then you can find plugs and crimping tools on our Coaxial Accessories page.
