Hi all, I tried using a booster that a mate lent me today (all in one signal booster from argos), and when i used the booster (had it plugged in to the mains) it did nothing to help the disdorted, pixelated picture that i already had in the first place (if anything it made it worse), but when i unplugged the booster out of the mains but left it set up as it was, it steadied my level and quality signal at around 80% (whereas before it would flicker continuosly between 84%-87%) which has improved the picture on some of the channels. Does this mean that i need an attenuator to lower my signal, and also would this stabilise my level and quality signal?. Any thoughts or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. *P*
