The UHF aerial is for stations such as Prime. The VHF is for TVs 1, 2, 3 and 4. One of the places that I have found corrodes the most is the junction box where the two aerial leads are joined. Open that up and have a look. That may be your problem.	Roscoe (6288)

It's only in the two months that we can not record Coro St. I think as you said that it could be the conn. on the aerial being corroded. Still not happy with the weather for a roof job.	gradebdan (2186)

Good probably equals 'marginal' because a UHF antenna has very poor signal capture for VHF and especially so for channels 1 & 2 (1 is TV1 Waikato and 2 is TV1 Auckland). If your UHF channels are OK then the antenna is fine, and being flat, Papakura is not a bad reception area because most of it is line of sight' to the transmitter on the Waitakeres. I lived there for some years and TV1 was fine on rabbit ears. In fact I'd find a set of rabbit ears or make up a TV1 ribbon antenna and you'll probably be OK until they shut down VHF; but better you take a leap of faith and buy a Freeview decoder.
