TV Signal Finder
I find that sometimes it takes time trying to find a good signal, my method if there were no aerials around to see vaguely which direction to point it, hopefully I would get something then use the TV signal strength to fine tune. Occasionally if the signal is weak it can take a bit of fiddling. I bought a signal finder which you connect between your aerial & the TV, but my aerial connects to a booster using the F type screw connectors & I didn't fancy having to keep undoing it to fit the finder then take it out afterwards. My booster has a second output for another TV & I had the thought of connecting it to the finder permanently. I rang the tech support of the signal finder who told me that it probably wouldn't work, this isn't the case though. I connected it up & found I could adjust the power going to the signal from the control on the booster. I would turn until I got at least one of the lights flickering then by turning the aerial until I had a good solid light. You can tweak the signal strength going to the finder by small adjustments on the booster. On the few times I have tried it out I found it works fine.
