I have a tv ariel attached to the side of my house with a standard coax cable running into our roof. Our signal reception of certain freeviews channels is pretty poor despite being in a good signal area, so I've been trying several different things to get these channels to work. Last night while trying to attach a masthead amplifier I discovered that if I connect a multimeter to the outer shielding of the cable and the other end to the core of the cable, the multimeter beeps indicating the circuit is closed. In fact the masthead amplifier power supply was automatically switching itself off when the cable running to the ariel was connected. I assume this isn't supposed to be the case, and the shielding and core are supposed to be totally isolated, even at the ariel? As I rent the property I will need to get a liscenced company to come out and gently caress with it, and I'm just looking for some conformation about this being irregular before I get on to the letting agency?
