During our first visit to Bolton Abbey site we noticed that the TV Booster used an Analog signal which ourAvtex L187DRS TV couldn't pick up. I understand that as a result of Analog being replaced by digital, new TV's are not being fitted with Analog tuners.

Does anyone know if Club Site TV Boosters all use Analog signals?

You definitely have to watch you don't get your Nicols  crossed or you could end up on the dark side.

Morvich was analogue when I was there three years ago.

Now digital,  but not brilliant.  8 channels BBC 1 / 2 ITV & 4 OK  but selection of other feesat channels with sound out of sync. I note it currently has no signal whatsoever, due to technical issues.

 

I was at Morvich earlier this month and the booster system wasn't working, the wardens said they were waiting for some electrical switchgear to be moved, not sure why that should take very long?

The warden did say that there was a long forgotten Relay Station somewhere nearby still broadcasting an analog signal so I erected my TV aerial on a mast. I did pick up a weak analog signal for one solitary channel but not really good enough to watch.

Looking on the web, it may have been "Ardintoul" Relay Station....??.........intriguing....!!

I had no TV reception, no phone signal & didn't bother with the wifi so no internet.  Bliss !!
