DM800 DiseqC switch inline amp

[davvo]

DM800 4 way DiseqC switch 28/19/16/13 east
all switch ok all SD work fine
but about 5 HD channels glitch on 28 east

so i put in a 20db inline amp HD channels now fine no glitch
all channels on 28/19/16/ fine

now i get no signal on most of 13 east SD and HD

so i take amp off
all channels on all sats fine apart from the 5 HD channels that glitch on 28 east

and with inline amp signal on all sats goes lower not higher

amp is on the right way

any help appreciated

the amp that was giving me problems was a
Gecen In-line Amp 20Db
pile o crap

change to this one

In-Line Signal Amplifier Sky Satellite Booster + 2F's on eBay (end time 14-Apr-10 10:33:06 BST)

all ok no glitching and all sats switch no loss of any channels

I have the amp you suggest but it's giving me similar problems: no signal on 28.2 east. Any help? thanks

P.S. What kind of LNB do you have?

Try changing your patch cable, that might be faulty which is causing the lower signal.
