At the moment we are still using a combination of satellite freeview tuner & old analog tuner, that uses the VHF aerial. |

| 1290052 | 2012-07-24 07:43:00 | Thanks for that info Billy T, that give me hope! Would any copper core wire work, say 1.5mm single core? Yep, so long as it is clean. 1.5mil sounds fine to me. Of course the sound will be no good because you haven'y used oxygen-free copper that was pre-soaked in Bat guano at precisely 74.56 degrees C for 17 years before being thrown away and replaced with a bent paperclip atached to a crystal that cost you a third mortgage, but that's technology for you. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

| 1290054 | 2012-07-27 01:56:00 | Cheers Billy T, It seems I've been over-thinking this whole UHF install, as its unfamiliar territory to me. Logic prevails now I've read your posts. I was planning on scrapping the copper clean of its PCB coating with a scalpel - is there a better way to do this? |
