Do they acctually do what they say on the tin?

We have 3 TV's connected to the ariel 2 of which can get all channels, the 3rd gets hardly any.

The signal is touch and go on all tv's every now and then it goes a bit crazy - especially when a hair dryer or something is on.

Would a signal booster solve these problems?

Thanks

Depends, do you have a distribution amplifier? Or do you have Y-splitters coming off the main cable from the aerial?

If you don't have any kind of amplifier/booster already, then yes.

EDIT: If your tvs break up when the hair dryer is on, that may be due to having poor aerial cable running to the tvs.
If your system is very old, then that is a possibility, and it would be worth upgrading all the cable to Twin-screened coax. E.g "Webro H109F" or something similar

I had dodgy freeview reception due to too many TVs connected to one aerial. I bought an "SLx 4 Way Aerial Amplifier with Digtial By-Pass" and it works perfectly. Cost about 312.
