I've split my roof aerial , in the living room , with an ordinary splitter from Screw Fix

One cable from the splitter is in the living room
Another cable goes up into the bedroom at the back of house , where there are two other splitters , taking a cable into the other back bedroom and a further cable into the front bedroom .

I can get good digital pictures in the living room and in both back bedrooms on built in , freeview televisions
However on the TV in the front bedroom , it is only picking up digital and analogue pictures , on BBC channels only .

Would adding a £ 10 booster from ASDA , in the front bedroom , likely to solve problem - or what would you suggest ?

Perhaps the television with the poorer reception is just less sensitive than the others. Possibly a problem with the cable being used to feed it. Have you tried swapping cables around to see if the same thing happens.

I can get all the channels - with good pictures - if I take the tv in question , to any of the connections , in the other rooms .

I'm wondering if the cable from the back bedroom to the front room is too long , thereby causing a weakened signal

front bedroom
You'd be more likely to solve the problem by replacing the first splitter at the bottom of the cable with a 2 way distribution amp. (though ideally you'd put a 4 way amp near top of the aerial and run all cables from there)
