[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1010607, member: 369937"] OK at 135 meters of RG-11 you will have about 20 dB of signal loss at 1 GHz, at 1.1 ohms DC resistance on the center conductor and about 1.3 ohms DC resistance on the shield. This would be about 3 tenths of a volt drop if your LNB takes 150 mA to run, his may not be a problem. But it still could be a DC voltage problem at the LNB, is the in-line amp one that has a DC power path? (one way?) If not then your LNB could not be getting the power it needs. And using a plane 8 way signal splitter may be your problem, to use 8 receivers you should use a switch that is capable of splitting the signal from the LNB to 8 receivers with out loss, your signal loss is too great through a simple 8 way splitter. Take a look at an EMP switch, something like this one. [code]http://www.emp-centauri.cz/index.php?lang=en&page=prodview&id_kateg=1&id_pkateg=11&id=17[/code] [/QUOTE]
