        Remove any splitters that you're using and connect the box to the main feed. Do another scan and see if it picks them up.

          best booster by far is the konig yellow brick
          Konig Cable TV/Broadband Signal Amplifier Booster NTL on eBay, also, Cable Boxes, Satellite Cable Freeview, Consumer Electronics (end time 24-Mar-09 22:20:08 GMT)

                yeah, wall socket to booster, booster to stb.
                im not certain of analogue, but i would assume if you're getting movies, then you should get the sports channels

                      i know of analogue only areas the only get 80% of digital channels if they use a orignal pace stb (parts of bolton in the north west ex c&w) and its nothing to do with signal strenth.

                      i cant explain why they transmit some digital channel at all but they seem to do.
