OT - Recommend me a signal booster for the TV...
The TV signal round here is crap - but I've been getting along fine the last couple of years with a cheap signal booster that got me 90% of
freeview.....
......untill two weeks ago - now it works for 5-10min then dies 
so I'm looking for a decent mains powered booster that'll last without spending a fortune
any recommendations ?
cheers

CPC do a good range of aerials and boosters - cheap too.
Sadly their website is utter tosh and a nightmare to navigate and find stock.

I used to have a MaxView. Had an excellent gain and wasn't that expensive. I'm Sky now so don't use one now.

and some helpful bumpf here!

rob get a freesat box and dish.
They are 40 quid all in and dont get upgraded out of existance.
You could go hd for not much money..get one with a hard drive then you can record all the tv whilst you are arranging the components it a single
bolted together pile that looks lot like a 50year old model.....lol maplins have them in dalry rd

I've already got my freeview DVD-WR/HDD box
I had thought about the freesat(/HD) but I don't actually watch that much TV (thats why it taken me 2 weeks to get round to sorting this) and
I've only got a 20" screen (720p) - so I'm not sure its worth it....
what I really need is for certain cable company to get a cable out this way so I can get a better connection speed and if its got some free TV then
thats a bonus  
but seriously - in the short term a booster will do the job and in the slightly longer term I'll get another arial too
