Hi guys,
I have had a good hunt around and cant quite find the answer i am looking for.
The installers connected virgin media in the corner of the lounge. However the TV is in the other corner.
I have digi coax, in that corner going up into the roof, and then back down on the other side of the room.
The connection is vm, coax, faceplate, coax in wall to roof, f connector join in roof, coax down to lounge, faceplate, vm box.
When i send the signal up and down, and connect it to the tv i get signal, but i think its a bit weak, some channels can be a little pixelly , and i dont get the OD services.
I bought one of these thinking it would do the job of boosting the signal.

I plugged this booster in the lounge next to virgins installation, and then sent the signal up to the roof and back down. The signal is worse than without it.
Is the above the right type of signal booster, or do i need something different. Which Chanel should i have plugged it in to, UHF is the only one that worked....
Can virgin boost their signal to my property?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
i have a samsung V box
Cheers
