    DM800 SGSH Low signals on Freq. 658

    This r the channels that signals is around 71% whereas others is around 85%. Please note that this is for my experimental purposes different location may vary so if u encounter this issue u know what to do like getting a booster like some bro mention, I will get splitter range 2600mhz to see if it can boost the signals, presently i'm using a 3 way 2300 - 2400mhz

    low signal

    hey astro,

    i've just installed my set after a trial setup with a new longer cable and now my signal strength is pretty weak. i'm thinking it's the cable but could it be my DM800 being the problem?

    Any idea, thanks!

        Why do u need a long cable if present method works great & what type of cable u're using now? If standard SH issue that would be great if not u can get it at SLT or SLS ask for RG6 cable & how long just keep a little bit longer will do & if using splitter what type? all this u have to take note, or u can experiment using booster as 800C tuner is not like 500C

                Can't help u on this as i don't use this box personally to me this box is crap a lot of problem.
                As for signal u can try get booster at any SLT shop hunt for it who knows u can get a better price.
                Something like this depend on how many way u want to split the signal

                      Only buy Dreambox for SG use.. unless you very familiar with the function and setup of other OEM models.

                          As long the picture don't freeze, pixelate or hang
                          then you don't need a booster, just make sure you have a good quality antenna cable will do.
