</a><br></blockquote></div><br>Hey thanks guys,<br><br>I am moving into the new house at the end of the month and there is already money put a side for brandspanking new antenna. <br>I found a great article from, believe it or not, Jaycar on the web. I can find it at the moment but it was really good. It said that you can actually make the signal worse by adding a signal booster.
<br><br>I think i saved it someplace. it went on to say a lot of the problems with tv can be solved with a booster on the mast head and then you can install, line conditioners,i think was the term.<br><br>Basically you set each one to the tv channels frequency and it cleans them up.
<br><br>So, I have an executive order to fix the Mythtv Box as it stuffed the recording of Prison Break the other night. Not bad enough, you could watch it right up till 5 min before the end and then it lost audio sync. Again typically a TV antenna signal problem. And that would be right seeing the Mythtv box is running on a set of bunny ears. (i can almost see the transmission tower)
<br><br>SO it looks like i get some more money.<br><br>"sure i can fix it form doing that honey, but it means we have to get a new antenna and another card."<br>whooo hooooo<br><br>I will see if i can find that link again.
