    Losing Signal

    Try changing the receiver.If the problem is still there and the cable is not corroded its not cable but the mulitswitch is slow in switching. If all your receivers are causing the same problem then i would suspect the multiswitch.

    Advice Needed satellite tv signal Boosters

    If you are receiving bbc abd itv service then its not the dish and not the cable and you will not need an amp at all. Your skue is off. You need to twist the lnb a tad clockwise and it should pop in. All the free view are the weakest to receive.
