I live in Wrexham with aerial pointed on Moel Y Parc. Aerial has masthead amplifier then feeding into a 6 way Proception distribution amplifier with 3 tv's connected and a fourth connection to a Humax Fox T2 set top box.
Full output on amplifier is terminated correctly.
The Humax box plus the Philips tv receive all channels correctly.
The other 2 TV's - a TEAC (dixons) and Luxor (asda) receive all channels except Channel 4 and local Made In Wales on ch8, plus I suspect a few others.
The Humax and Philips show signal strength around 40 -50% with quality 100%, other sets have no indicator.
Means we can't watch Channel 4 in bedroom or kitchen !

Previously we used signal from Wrekin (West Midlands) but want Welsh services now, so aerial realigned and all sets retuned.. All Tv's worked correctly delivering all channels from the Wrekin .

Any ideas ? Have swapped outputs on 6way amp to no avail

Mike: Post Code LL12 7SH Amplifier does have gain control.
Just checked which channels not received in kitchen - there are 22 spread across more than 1 MUX - Ch nos 7,8,40,45,50,55,56,57,67,68,69,72,74,82,84,86,87,93,94,95,96,97. May be more in higher number channels.
Adjusting amplifier gain not easy - at top of 12ft pole !
