![]() That way you get better aerial performance - the groups are as follows ![]() There are other reasons why reception might be poor even with a perfectly aimed aerial, such as a large hill between you and the transmitter - the wolfbane site takes all that into account which is why it is so good, but sadly UK only.Īnother considerations is the “group” of the aerial - now I don’t know if this applies to France but, basically, it’s hard to make a Yagi (the most common type of TV aerial) which covers the whole of the UHF band so UK transmitters tend to keep all the stations quite close together and aerials are made in different “groups” which cover part of the UHF band. The nice thing about the matnt site is that it gives the compass bearing so it should be possible to aim the aerial pretty well with a compass - don’t forget the angle of declination though most aerials, even highly directional ones usually have a “capture angle” of a good few degrees. Incidentally, both TVs work perfectly on Satellite via Humax and scart leads.ĭoes your aerial have a lot of elements? They could make it more directional. What might be wrong? Two TVs with duff tuners? An amplifier needed? Better aerial? It is correct way up, compared to neighbours. I have moved the aerial direction in a few steps either way and am pretty sure it is pointing as good as possible. With the British TV when tuning I got the same 5 french channels and all the information about the program title etc along the bottom, but no picture. At that time I hadn’t tried the second television. I spoke to a TV man who said straightaway ‘TV tuner problem’. With another set (British, maybe 10yrs old, don’t know) I get sound only on F3 Aquitaine. Only on F3 Aquitaine do I get anything - and that is perfect sound + subtitles. With our French-bought TNT labelled television the best I can get is 5 channels listed (F2, F3 Aquitaine, F4 and franceinfo. I have put up an aerial, very similar to my neighbour’s and pointed it in the same direction. I am trying to get French terrestrial television.
