Just the same, i didn't expect him to even think of pretending knowledge where he was not well versed in the specific area under discussion. I'm in a lot more pain lately, and I'm having a harder time controlling my temper. I am dropping a lot of things, between carpal Tunnel & nerve damage to my hands. I am also tired of hearing lies from doctors. For some reason, my medication for enlarged prostrate was put on hold for 90 days, and not being able to sleep more than an hour or two at a time is starting to get to me after two months without more than four hours sleep a night. There are days that I want them to cut my damn legs off, to get rid of the constant pain. they hurt when I lay down. They hurt when i get up. They hurt when I'm sitting, and when I'm walking. I have been waiting over a year for the proper surgical support stockings, only to be told a few days ago that it's no longer available. I waited over five years for a pair of diabetic shoes. I couldn't find anything that fit, so I was wearing a pair of old shoes that should have been tossed three years ago. 10 years ago my feet were 8.5 wide. Because of Diabetes and circulation problems, they are now 11 EEEEEE (yes, 6E) and some days I have trouble even getting those on. I have 'Turned the other cheek' so many times that I no longer care. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense. |

Yes, just call the cable company, tell them you will change to satelite
because it doesn't work. They will do it for nothing and very quickly. "Jim Higgins" wrote in message ...

I got the new digital converter and had no picture. I took the box back and got a second box, still no picture. So now I suspect a weak signal and confirm that it is the cable length. The cable company came out and gave me a better cable than I had installed. At this point I have a picture but it is intermittent. The signal at the utility post has 3 outputs and had a four way splitter, I suggested the cable guy put in two 2 way splitters and give me the stronger (first) tap. That got my signal to work almost all the time. I'd like to get the signal to work 100% of the time. I don't has access to electricity at the utility post, so an amp is out. Although I could try an amp at the cable box end. Is that reasonable? I would run two cables if there was a way to make it increase signal strength. Getting anymore from the cable company is not an option. Any ideas to get a better signal? Yes, ask the cable company to change the tap in the distribution amplifier from (for example) -40dB to -34 dB. IOW, they can up the signal level in the cable vs installing a lower loss cable. (You're probably at the point where there isn't a significantly lower loss cable available anyhow.) Actually, first ask them to measure your signal strength at the distribution point on your boat where their cable attaches and look over their shoulder as they do that. They have specs and they need to meet their specs. I had a ton of problems with Internet here until doing that - finding they didn't meet their own specs - and when I made them meet their own specs all was fine. They met their specs by changing the tap. |

Theoreticaslly, that is what you need. I think you should put one amp every 50 feet but that may not be possible for you. Use a 15dB gain drop amp with power inserter, but that's just a guess. Would help if you actually knew signal levels like what the receiver requires for optimum reception and what the cable co sources. Putting the amplifier at source gives you a typical system noise figure of 3dB, but putting it at your end limits your NF to 10dB minimum from the start. |

Those RS amps have no equalization, so the low channels would overlaod the front end, and the high channels would still be snowy if you need more than one or two.. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense. |
