[QUOTE="LostCol, post: 1090423, member: 415373"] My TV aerial blew down so I had no TV in the living room. I live in a flat and don't have long enough ladders to attempt a repair, phoning local installers was just going to voicemail, so out of desperation I connected old Sky dish cable in bedroom into terrestrial cable. The outdoor terrestrial cable connects bedroom and living room, to my surprise when I plugged old sky box into living room TV cable I got a good number of channels crystal clear. I know Terrestrial TV cable is bad quality for satellite signals and it's adding about 10 metres to satellite run. Initially I wasn't getting E4 and Film4 using this setup so I cut off the TV aerial lead coming from the roof and now those channels are working. I assume TV aerial was picking up signals, such as freeview or mobile and causing interference. I'm fairly happy with this temporary setup, I'm getting 90% of the channels I want to watch but Astra 2g is for the most part getting no signal. I can get a signal in bedroom so problem would appear to be the repurposed and old TV cable. I don't know much about cables so forgive the poor explanation, it appears to be single shielded and has PVC/Air separation in it. Would a signal booster be any help? [/QUOTE]
