How can you tell that? I can't find anything like an IP address in his

His mother in law was, apparently, harshly critical of
him because he'd festooned the aerial with tinsel


Are we to understand that the plan to despatch the wife to the mother
in law's home did not work, otherwise why would the mother in law
be present?

So really, I was wondering if you wise chaps could help out. Is it
true that tinsel can affect your reception?

I would guess that tinsel might cause multi-path reflection problems
for analog reception. For digital, perhaps it would reduce the
signal strength and or quality?

Does the colour of the tinsel make any difference?

The color of the tinsel should not make any difference unless
the pigmentation for certain colors contains more metal, but
this would presumably still be insignificant to the use of
metal based tinsel.

Of course, if the tinsel is plastic based, then it should
have no effect whatsoever either on analog or digital reception.

Recall that naval vessels uses "metallic tinsel" to try and
confuse incoming Exocet missiles.

Can I compensate for any effect the tinsel might have with a booster?

Set back/top amplifiers should be avoided at all costs -- a mast based
pre-amplifier is always the better solution, but will only make matters
worse in areas of high signal strength.

I suppose tinsel could affect it if cut to the right wavelength (I
read somewhere in 1/4 wavelengths) but more affective if thrown out of
WWII bombers in handfuls. ;-)

Erm, surely the name on the account ought to actually communicate the true
meaning of the post?

Is that why you felt the need to repost every single word of it?

I don't know, but I'd guess that tree light flashers could cause some
interference.

I don't use them because they annoy my pet rat.
