Re: Loftbox users?

[Bruno Prior <bruno@xxxxxxx>]

I've just done exactly that (LNB1 via the loftbox, LNB2 direct). The
picture's fine, but I am getting some sound breakup, compared to if I
have the Sky+ box connected direct to LNB1. It's a hell of a long run,
though (around 25 metres of cable from dish to loftbox and at least as
much again from loftbox to intended location in living room), so it may
be that which causes the problem. Is there any such thing as a booster
for digital, that I could add to the line from the loftbox to the living
room?

And as for distribution of the terrestrial signal - it's not that great
in my area to start with, but by the time it's covered that distance via
the loftbox, it's either hopelessly degraded or so weak that the TV
can't autotune to it at all (at least that's the only reason I can think
of why I don't seem to get any signal at all in some of the rooms). I
need to figure out a solution for that.

Cheers,

Bruno
