Poor NTL signal - booster required?

[fitz]

Hi

I bought a new 26" LCD TV a few months back. I connected up my standard NTL cable but some of the channel's reception is not great (some are fine). I am thinking of buying a signal booster. Anyone know would this improve reception?

Thanks
Fitz

I have been down the poor reception road many times with NTL-not my favourite organization-I bought a booster several years ago and I found it only introduced other problems -it can make the signal too strong on some channels-which is as bad as a weak signal so overall it was a waste of money.
There have been times in the past when I complained to NTL and their Tech guy is able to "tweak" the signal on the box on your house-though this does not last in my experience.
It might be worth considering their digital service -while not faultless delivers a much better signal.

NTL should resolve this.

I had a similar experience - new TV & poor channels.

After a 'push' booster installed and partly resolved the problem.

Ultimately they re-installed the cable to the house.

Keep at them!
