[QUOTE="billnot, post: 443346, member: 176016"] This is a cheap all frequencies attenuator. Sorry once again to give a reference in Spanish, but everybody locally uses this place. It's item no. 510003 [URL="http://www.demon-multimedia.com/productos/productos.asp?ids=120"]here[/URL] I am a practicioner, not a theoretician, so I don't pretend to understand the science. It might all be snake oil. But if you put one in line and check the signal quality of a weak station, either using the manual tuning in the engineer's menu, or with a satellite meter, then as you apply the attenuation you can see the signal quality rise (slightly) as the strength goes down, reach a peak and then go down. The idea is to find the sweet point where the quality is the greatest. That definitely happens. Just how much difference it makes in practice is debatable. I don't use them, because with the boxes I use, almost exclusively Pace 2600 and 3100, they are unnecessary. But they are a standard fitting with new installations (with new boxes) for all the local installers, including those who are most definitely [B]not [/B]cowboys. All I suggest you do it to give it a try - at under 5 Euros, they're not exactly expensive! [/QUOTE]
