That might make sense.  It is a shared aerial for a 10-apartment block of
flats.  I've put a powered TV Signal booster on the line to see if that
helps.  It does boost the signal % myth reports to around 70-75% signal
while rescanning.  Noise/SNR is always given as zero when I test or when
rescanning channels.  I'm not allowed to change the aerial/antenna (the
curtain-twitching little old ladies in surrounding flats will probably
notice if I sneak onto the roof at night and replace it with one I've
bought...).

If that is indeed the problem, any suggestions as to what I can do to help
it?  Anything else I should check?

Many Thanks,
-James
