Hi, thanks for the help, back at work so not been able to do anything this week. I got to the point where I think that there must be a problem with the cable. I have connected up a second run ot the one of the bedrooms and that works fine, but the cable down to the lounge just drops the...

Thanks gents, In the short form example, the cable is being joined with a threaded coupler, 'F' connector either side. Before the connection is made the signal is good, if I test the end of the cable once connected its got no reading. If however, I connect the cable running up from...

Thanks, but Geofix or red mastik has been tried but that has just dried up and fallen out.

Anyone know what products can be used or how to re-point thin line brickwork. Normal pointing would obviously just smear the brickwork with mortar and not get much in the gap. This is old engineering brickwork with 5-7mm gap between bricks. I have seen that using something like Geofix has...

Take the socket out of the equation, if I go up in the loft and test a lead which runs from the aerial I get a meter reading of 50, good signal. If I then connect any length of coax to this lead, I've tried 3 different ones of various makes and types (excluding the cable running downstairs)...

If I plug signal tester in to socket it gives a reading of 50! If I plug a coax lead in to the socket and then plug the signal tester in to the end of that lead it gives no reading! And don't forget if I go back up to the loft, test the cable from the aerial it gives a reading of 50, if I...

Hi Sam, The meter is SLx DVB-T Signal Meter, it is 50 dBuV. The cable is the existing cable fitted by the builder, or I can use a length of seemingly anything, as soon as the second connection is made the signal drops. We are using 'F' connectors for all connections. There is a wall...

I have just fitted a new High Gain TV aerial in the loft which picks up a signal, the meter we have borrowed shows a signal strength of 50. We are in a 5 year old 3 storey town house and the cabling is already installed. I have connected the cable coming up from downstairs directly in to the...
