or you have some of the insulation from the cable touching the cable itself on the cable you have ran downstairs | |

Something must have came loose or moved somewhere. | |

Split the feed from the loft into a 2 way junction box, put a new end on the downstairs coax to make it work, ran a new coax to the upstairs tv... | |

I had a standard aerial in my house that cost me £65 including fitting, that ran two TVs in the upstairs bedrooms and the downstairs tv, all with freeview, every channel worked perfect. The fella tried to sell me a booster etc but I just took the gamble and it paid of with 3 seperate wires. | |

Best way is to take the feed from the aerial into the loft and into an amplified splitter like the one above. | |

You could fit a mast amplifier/splitter to the aerial, it would mean that you'd run another feed to the bedroom but the power supply (for the amplifier) could connect on the feed in your lounge. Although i can't remember if the PSU has to be connected to the amplifier within a certain distance, i'm also not too sure having the PSU so far away from the amplifier will cause excess noise etc. | |

Mains powered and as close to the aerial as possible. | |

Mains powered? Does that need to go near the aeriel? | |

At the parents they have the signal coming from the aerial straight into an amplifier which splits it and sends it to all the points around the house. | |

You boost noise as well as signal so if you boost at the end of the line you boost more of the noise, that's not to say it won't work though. | |

At the split not at the ends? The issue we have is power, the socket is the other | |

Splitting will reduce the signal. | |
