cable splitters

hi,i have starview in both rooms connected through a splitter.my problem is that on the 2nd box for some reason when i do a auto search it cannot pick up the last 30 channels AS ESPN,STAR PLUS AND ZEE TV.WHAT CAN I DO?

[portbhoy]

|Just scan it in the other room as long as the box has them in they should work on the weaker feed.

WHEN I SCAN IN THE OTHER ROOM ALL CHANNELS WORK FINE,BUT NOT IN THE OTHER ROOM.I HAVE TRIED FACTORY SETTINGS SO MANY TIMES AND STILL NO LUCK

have you tried a booster argos or maplin you must be losing signal some where are you using f-type connections ie screw type , by the way turn your caps off some peeps think its rude like shouting

[singh1234]

yes i think the connection is screw type as it is screwed onto the splitter from 1 side*explain more by what u mean screw type*.would a booster defo do the job?which one would i need?and sorry for the cap locks i neva knew

[cactikid]

bad cables or connections,you could try another good quality splitter

[singh1234]

so what u reckon? new splitter, cable or booster.whats the best option.all the channels were working around a month ago but suddenl few channels are missing

[cactikid]

always scan from direct feed,no splitters,if all the channels work from that all good,splitter on and lose a few also old coaxial will degrade signal.

What signal strength does your box show when you press the S.L. button on your remote ?
I've got a two way splitter in my outside wall box , which has a 2 way splitter on one feed and a 3 way splitter on the other , these feeds supply 5 starviews around the house .
I've only used well jointed extension cables and Qamtex splitters , (the ones virgin use ) .
All boxes scan in 320-350 channels and have 85 - 98 % signal strength and i've never had to use attenuators.
Hope this helps mate !

when you say scan through a direct feed what do you mean?when i take the box into the other room it scans and finds all the channels and works but when i take back into other room the channels that are normally missing are there but not working.what can i do?when i scan the 2nd box it does not find the last 20-30 channels like zee tv,espn,star plus
