There is a way round this booster problem.
The tenant in my block who has been supplied with it
and is paying for the power it uses
has told me the make and model, how it works, and where I can get one.
He has switched it off a few times, causing me to replug into the old ariel that hasn't been removed yet. He says he is switching it off regularly early evening as he goes to bed early. I have only noticed it twice because I don't watch TV very much.
I am hanging back from shelling out a tenner for one because I think Hyndburn Homes should supply one to each tenant. I have mailed them to ask how they propose to resolve the problem.
I can understand and appreciate why he is switching it off. Apart from the cost, although its minimal, there is a principle at stake here
(......and the added factor that the 'mentally challenged' man who lives above him watches TV at high volume during the early hours
)
We have had no word from HH when the extra rent charge will be added.
We will then be paying over a £1 a week for the use of the ariel which is an inescapable rent charge
