Thank you for your reply, I did check the aerial worked directly to a TV. I also checked every connection many times. The signal is bad where I am, often at late evening the Freeview TV goes as the signal is not so strong then which is annoying when you are watching a programme and don't know what happens. This happens to neighbours' TVs as well. I do need three outlets. Same with mobile phones in my area, some signal during the day but late evening it disappears.
