Was asked by a friend to run them a couple of aerial cables to 2 bedrooms upstairs (bed 2 & bed 3)
I'd normally install a booster in the loft and connect the incoming aerial to that and go from there but there existing setup already had the main aerial going direct to lounge with a further cable going up to bed 1.
With that in mind I installed the booster behind the TV and the 2 new cables up from there.
Tested tvs in lounge, bed 2 and bed 3 and all worked OK (signal on TV ranged from 70-80% on all).
Since I finished they have put a TV in bed 2 using the already existing cable. As soon as they turned it on the TV in bed 3 lost its signal.
I'm not really sure what I should check next. I'll redo the ends of bed 3.
As a side note when I arrived they were complaining the TV in lounge kept cutting out on certain channels. When I checked they had the cable fed from bed 2 plugged in as if it were the main aerial and they had a decent signal on most channels.
Any ideas what could cause that
