Hi
i do satellite installs in spain, and i have to rectify a job run in by someone else,it's a 8 way lnb with all the 8 slots in use,it appears that the cable runs thru the house were complicated and therefore all the 8 cables have at least three places along the run where a coupler/barrel have been used.
when i test the signal at the satellite it is very good signal strength and picture quality is pretty good. however when i test at the other end of the cables the picture quality is very bad but signal strenghth is more or less the same as when tested at the dish.
Q. is the loss in picture quality a direct result of the couplers?
Q.is there anything else i could try or do ?
any advice would be greatly apreciated
the dish is 80cm (fine for this region of Spain) televes and the lnb is televes,and the signal is fine on all slots at sat end.
Thxs in advance
