Until a couple of months-ish ago, I got good signal and BER levels on the three TVs in my house, using a whopping loft-mounted aerial (Thevales 19dBi). Now the signal is significantly weaker across all channels. I can boost it by switching on my PVR and using its amplifier in line but previously this was not necessary. I realize I should have a roof-mounted aerial but that is impractical in my situation, and anyway, the signal has been good until just recently. Has anything changed that would account for this sudden step difference, eg 4G addition, in which case might a filter improve things? Or at the edge of coverage as I am, might its insertion loss outweigh any advantage?
