Hi guys,
I have recently ran some cable (original cable that TW left years ago when they did the original install - it was on drum and they forgot to take it with them ;-) ) up stairs (under floorboards etc) to our bedroom so I could put a second D500C in there. But I am having issues with high BNR and channel not found etc on the one upstairs.
My current setup is this:
This makes my TV downstairs 100% perfect (well from what I can see), BUT the TV upstairs struggles to fix on a channel for very long and most of the channels dont work.
I have even tried putting a SLX1 booster upstairs as well to boost the signal (If i dont have it the SNR is only about 64 and with it its about 91). I can normally pick up BRAVO Upstairs first - i.e. I cant get BBC1 to get a picture unless I go to BRAVO first (Dont know why this is!) , but once the picture has been ok for about 5 mins the SNR drops to 64 and the BER goes absolutely mad!
Can anyone suggest anything that may help get the TV OK upstairs?
Cheers

My current setup is this:
- White TW installed box on wall downstairs
- 2m Cable running to Yellow Brick Booster
- 1m Cable running to Variable Attenuator
- 2m Cable running to 3 Way Splitter
- 5m Cable running to D500c In Front room
- Approx 15 - 20m cable running Upstairs
