Hi. I have a quad LNB feeding two separate digiboxes. One double feed is direct to the box. The second double feed is to 2/4 LNB inputs on a loft box. The Triax loftbox multiplexes to the second digibox which works fine via a triplex faceplate in the living room and distributes the RF2 signal (voltage on) via a return lead to the loft box and outputs to the rest of the house. A bit snowy on the RF2 and have tried changing channel for the RF2 output with a little bit of improvement. The loft box has outputs for additional digibox and have hooked that up via a single lead to a diplexing faceplate in the bedroom via a long cable run but showing as no signal. At one stage had EPG music on and when checked signal quality and strength, had a very low register and then lost it again. I put an inline 15dB satellite signal booster (powered by the LNB? - think that might be an issue) onto the loft box LNB output to the bedroom but no joy. That was when i got the EPG music but didn't last. Any ideas (a) how to improve the quality of the RF2 output to the other TVs from the loftbox (should I boost the return from the RF2 to the loftbox?) and (2) what I am missing or should try next with the digibox feed to the older box in the bedroom? All suggestions gratefully received. Just looking to use the bedroom digibox for freeview. Hope the description is adequate. Thanks in advance.
