Hey thanks guys,

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.
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.

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.

Basically you set each one to the tv channels frequency and it cleans  them
up.

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)

SO it looks like i get some more money.

"sure i can fix it form doing that honey, but it means we have to get a new
antenna and another card."
whooo hooooo

I will see if i can find that link again.
