I have just purchased a second starview for the back room when scanning only getting half of channels I normally get in front room no problem. I used splitter and about 15 metre run of cable but as I say i get some channels including some of premium but on other box fed off same splitter get twice as many.
I have factory reset rescanned etc few times no joy, any advice would be appreciated r
I know this is probably weak signal but need advice on how to improve. Could shorten run by 4 metres will this help? Using rg6 cable currerntly and standard screw fit f plugs

thanks
