I've fitted five tv sockets in my flat and a booster box to split the aerial signal. The reception is bad, lots of ghosting. Do I need a more powerful aerial on the roof? Or if I bought a digital receiver box would one be enough or would I need one for each tv socket?

It's my understanding that you need a decent signal in the first place for a digibox, so I don't think that it will help. Have you got 5 seperate leads going to the aerial, or one lead that is then split into 5?

There's one lead coming from the aerial to the booster box that then splits it into five leads. Any ideas?
I think you're possibly asking a bit much from one aerial, especially if the signal in your area isn't 100%. Not needed to use either item, but possibly the two items (splitter and masthead amp) at the bottom of this page may help: http://www.beststuff.co.uk/aerial_amplifiers.htm . I think you're better off with the split as close to the aerial as possible, rather than close to the TV's.

Thanks for that link, it's very helpful, I didn't know these things existed.
