I would expect at that distance attenuators are more like what's called for. The strength in a loft will be quite high too. So as its attenuated the ratio of wanted/refelcted signal will stay the same and the reflected signals will disappear into the noise, as it were....

Mine are inside and work extremely well. Better than the old one that used

to be strapped to the chimney.

Not a bad way to fgpo if its clear from mertalioc stuff, at up to

50-0Mhz. Above that it starte getting dubious, so staellite dished es no. But VHF and UHF - definitely worth a try.

Indeed. And you may eaily get ore reflections outside than in. Not everybody has a galv steel water tank in their loft.

If it hasn't got gold plated connectors, its not working properly.

Any Hi Fi enthusiast can tell you THAT :-)

You will probably find you are missing at least one row of pixels, and michael fish is distinctly greener, especially on digital where as any hifi enthusiast will tell you, degradation is totally contrary to digital theory, and is a function of how much red tape you wrap it with to cut down the laser reflections. Or something.

Unfortunately I do not have a loefot /..sorry loft/. It is a ground floor flat

What a story. I wish I could try every chimney stack in the house, but its height of approx 11 meters will give me probably one shot at it
