Hi

Followup:
I have examined specs of the equipment used. The digital decoder box 
receiver includes 6 meter and 2 meter ham band. Combined with a very weak TV 
signal, this make the TVI pretty bad. This is also true for at least one of 
the active antenna's used in the installation.

I build a TVI filter from this instructions:
http://www.uksmg.org/content/filter.htm

Does anyone have any idea where the cutoff frequence (i.e. -3dB) is for this 
filter ?

As instructed i put the filter in a plastic box:

Wouldent it be better to use a metalbox ? or will stray capacity spoil the 
effect of the filter ?

Is there any way to fix the problem with the active antenna, any idea's ?

"digital antenna" lookes like this:

I lent a digial box of a friend and will try at test setup with the filter. 
Also gota braid breaker, but that wil only solve the below 30 MHz TVI.
