Tv Aerial help

I have two freeview boxes, one in my lounge which works fine, the one in my bedroom doesnt.

i have an aerial in my bedroom where i just have the wire no fittings on there, i have the fittings and put them on and it wont find any stations, i tried it this morning and it found like 10 stations but they were cutting in and out and the peice of wire was a bit long, so i re fitted it and now it wont find any stations again.

i went to dick smith and he wasnt much help just said that the wire cant be touching any of the fittings as it will stop signal going thru?

can anyone help with any advice,this is driving me crazy, have been trying to get it working for ages.

the aerial does work as i had it working for normal tv before we changed over to digital

While indoor antennae may have been satisfactory for Analogue they don't always work very well with Digital. You obviously need a better antenna system, either an amplified indoor antenna or an external UHF antenna. If the box in the other room is working OK then the easiest solution is to get a splitter and run another antenna cable to your bedroom.

I dont know if this helps, but this works for me,

In my setup i have a freeview set top box, and i've connected the (RCA) red, white, yellow to an old video recorder using the VCR'S Video In RCA plugs

Then from the VCR I run another RCA Cable from the VCR's Video Out to the TV, this way I have a picture in the lounge.

Now for the bedroom I run the old standard Coax cable but this time using the VCR's RF:OUT to my bedroom TV

Then I auto Tuned the TV and voila watching freeview in my bedroom

you can also record TV programs to video tape for later viewing

hope this helps
