For digital and a communal set-up you need a good wideband antenna and a masthead amplifier/splitter, that way every person (or group of people) are getting a good signal.

Boosters that plug in near the TV are not only trying to boost the signal but they also end up boosting the noise caused by electrical wiring, appliances and other stuff picked up by the co-axial cable.

Nope no duplicated channels either, just poor signal from all BBC
