| * Note: We have sold thousands of leads made like this, with no returns, but I have been criticised for suggesting this simple method of wrapping the braid under the brass collar. The "official" method is described here:
http://www.megalithia.com/elect/bellinglee/index.html My method is easier, less messy (no strands of copper braid everywhere) and forms a good connection. I've been making leads like this since 1960. However, if you prefer to listen to the "experts", please use the "official" method. Remote extender "magic eyes" and masthead amplifiers need to be powered via the coaxial cable. If the "TV" plugs aren't fitted correctly, the connection will be intermittent and you'll have problems. "Magic-eyes" may not work if too close to the TV (interference). Always connect to the TV with a double-screened cable. Move further away from the TV if you have problems. If you still have problems with the "eye" 3 metres away, you may need to decouple the cable to the TV. We make up our own "fly-leads" using WF100 cable (in various colours). You can buy them from us or make your own. Thanks for your prompt processing of my order, the first part of which arrived today, around 24hrs after placing it - well done! However, I wanted to tell you about the benefit I got from one of the items on the order. I had been experiencing weak signal and interferece from my freeview aerial setup. After perusing your website at length, I was pretty sure I was going to have to renew all the co-ax (about 8 years old, and medium quality), and replace all outlets with screened ones. Before that though, I decided to look at the obvious 'weak links'. I purchased WF100RE1.5M RED 1.5 METRE and WF100BLTV2M BLACK 2 METRE leads from you, made up with TV plugs. The former intended to link wallplate to Toppy PVR, and the latter Toppy to TV. Before substitution, the TV digital tuner read 50% signal. After substituting the red 1.5m lead between wallplate and PVR, the signal went up to 72%, with no interference from central heating, much better picture overall, and the welcome return of DAVE etc, which had been reduced to a silent jumble of pixels before. The second lead gave no further increase, so I still need to look at the rest of the installation, but it's very good now subjectively as it is. I thought you, and possibly other customers, might like to hear a real-world story of just how cost-effective a <£5 upgrade can be! I'm now about to undertake my first FreeSat dish installation using your products, confident that the quality won't let me down. Thanks again, Matthew Davies
