    Hi, I moved my multi room chorus box from the kitchen upstairs. I couldnt be arsed getting the Chorus lads to come out and move it. However, since i moved it the signal strength has gone way down. RTÉ TV3 BBC come in fine Sky one etc. But Sky 2 Comedy central and most of the music channels are frozen.

    Could anyone recommend a way to fix this problem?

    did you move downconverter also. if you are using box in different room where is your input signal coming from. are you still using the same coax cable you used in previous room or is it a different run of cable. If it is a different run of coax then you need to make sure that the downconverter is attached to this coax line

    No, i never touched the down converter. I have a digivox T at the down converter and two cho*us boxes running off the down converter, one in the kitchen and a cable coming out of the back of that box upstairs to another cable box. Both supplied by Cho*us.

    Bit lost. Understand the Digivox-T connection. So then you must split the output of the Digivox-T to the other two boxes. What splitter are you using. More to the point if you are using a splitter its very unlikely that one would work and one wouldn't. I have a simpler setup. I have my primary box connected to the downconverter. My secondary box is connected on from the output of the primary box to the input of the socondary box. That works fine. I see no reason that you can't connect the input to the third box from the output of the second box.

    Alternatively I have installed a solution where you have connection from ariel to down converter into multi-distribution point. You can then run cable from this distribution point into any room in your house. Tried and tested

    There is a plug with a "transformer" on the end of it. Three wires come out of this, one from the aerial on the roof and two others, one goes to the digivox T, the other goes over the roof and out to the box in the kitchen. From here i have a wire connecting the Kitchen box to a box upstairs. I think its satellite cable i am using, Is there anywhere i could purchase the cable Ch*rus use?
