satellite signal boost

[stew86]

my satellite signal has got low from moving the room around had to put a Coupler Joiner to put extra 5 meter of cable to box is there away to booster the signal without putting a new full leagth of cable in thanks

Always better to use Decent quality cable and no joins really to minimise the signal loss, Boosters can be found just be warned they also boost the crap thats in the signal as well.

if i go on 0.8w sd channel work at 87% turn to a hd on signal drops down to 57% abit of channel amd thats it so was thinking if i could boost the signal it might work

sounds more like a fault on the cable to me as moving a room about and adding a bit of cable should not cause this

it could be interference from adjacent cables, or a nearby dect phone or nearby router or some other source of interference instead

alternatively, it could be some of the outer braid touching the inner core causing a short circuit, or cable damage or a kink in the cable

given the high signal on the SD channel I dont think a booster will help, but tracking down the fault will

I would start by connecting it back up where it comes in from outside and checking the levels, and then try to trace the fault or interference

What receiver do you have
