Ok Viesturs!
As a former RF-engineer and a radioamateur hunting RF signals in the woods I
believe your first job still is to find a better antenna-position.
This is after you have made sure the cabling is in order so that is not the
real cause of your problems.
It's not certain you need a 30

First: are you sure the dish is directed correctly to the satellite?
My apologies for not stating it clearly - it is DVB-T signal,
terrestrial, not satellite.
Thanks, Kirk and Gene!
The antenna is ~2m long, its orientation is the same as previous

That hill and its trees are casting a signal shadow.
Yupp, exactly!
Do you have a friend living on the top or side of the hill?
No, it is relatively small - less 10 m high, pretty close to house.
There are only trees on it, no buildings or
If your terrestrial receiver is 3 years or so old, you may want to look
into a newer tuner.
The chip sets in the newer tuners have better multipath
rejection/equalization, and can pick out the digital signal better from the
ghost signals.
In digital more signal is not necessarily better if you

Viesturs,
I should have read your message more investigatively. In our area, DVB-T
is no problem because everybody still have the old antennas on the roofs
and the transmitted channels are the same, to. If you don't have the
rakes anymore, try to get one from people who have gone satellite.

Hello, guys!
I have a total off-topic question, because this is the only place I
know to ask technical kind of questions.
Is there any way to boost the signal of digital TV?
The thing is that at my parents' house the signal is not very good,
and pretty often lots of channels are not working due
Viesturs,
the only efficient high frequency amplifier is a better antenna, that is
a saying from the early 20th century. Any electronic amplifier would
boost the noise as well as the signal. Not much use in this digital aera.
