Yes, I am getting my electrician to replace all cabling with quad shield and f-connectors, and also remove any existing splits between antenna and TV outlet (WAF includes rule about one TV only in the house, so extra point in the study is useless...!).
I'll re-test signal strength and if still not good, then relocate antenna / get new antenna (antenna sits low on the roof could try moving it to higher point).
My signal strength is borderline, so hopefully just better cabling will be enough...!
