Hi and welcome.
My recommendation is to fit a single digital aerial to your roof, then run it to a distribution amplifier in your loft.
The Triax Unix 52 is a good quality aerial, and you could go for something like a 4-way distribution amplifier. This particular one has adjustable attenuation, so you can set it for the correct signal strength. If you’re thinking of future expansion, you could go for the 6-way or 8-way version.
Note you would need to find a 240v power source for the amp.
edit:// Looking at the specs for Storeton you need a group K aerial mounted vertically (i.e. on its side). The only place I can find this type is here, but there’s no picture.
You are closer to Winter Hill than I am (65 miles) but I get a decent signal from there with a couple of amps in the loft. Can you get a signal from Winter Hill, which requires a C/D aerial (e.g the Triax) mounted horizontally?

I’ve power cycled my 9300T and gone from channel 26 to MENU. Other than that Zilch. cycling again gets me nowhere. Presume I’m going to have to leave it on all night in the hope it updates automatically?

(Make sure automatic updates are enabled and leave it in standby overnight tonight.

sorry but i have had a look at these updates and i really dont understand it all what is it? what do i do when its my sets time???
Leave your box in standby overnight and it should update automatically at 4am. That is the default time that your unit will be set to check for OTA updates.
Normally your unit should update automatically unless you specifically disable the feature, or you leave it on all the time (that is, not in standby).
You can see the schedule of OTA (over the air) updates happening this week on the DTG site here.
Put your box in standby overnight on one of the nights that your download is broadcast, and make sure automatic update is enabled on your unit.
I concur. If you used the TV remote and pressed a number button, the TV will probably have switched to analogue source.
There may be an input or source button on the Sony remote, which may have a symbol that looks like an arrow pointing into an oval box. Press that a few times with the Humax and TV switched on.
Over 4500 comments for the blog from Ben Gallop, here, and they’re still flooding in.
Not only is this a record, but 99.9% of all posts are angry about the so called ‘deal’. Those that are not are more resigned to the inevitable rather than supportive of it.
Thanks for your honesty. I know there are people on here who work very hard to bring the latest up-to-date information to your attention on these forums (esp. Barry). So to see an acknowledgement of their hard work is reasonable reward, I would say.
What some people never realised was that CRT tubes ran at something like 25kV – similar to the voltage of overhead power lines!
