Cable splitter/coax cables question?

[Peterj]

So a 2400Mhz is too much for a cable splitter?

It should be minimum in range of 45MHz to 900 MHz. (cable freq.)
I doubt your cable provider had installed it.

have a look here: http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...light=splitter #46

Why have I got a 2400Mhz splitter and is it a satellite splitter?

Shall I buy a splitter a 1000Mhz splitter?

So I got too much frequency?

[Peterj]

The splitter range is important.
It is possible you have a 10 - 2400 MHz splitter (they exists).
It means it splits frequencies between 10 and 2400 MHz at a correct way.

Ok, what would you suggest I do?
Is there no way I can check currently how much signal loss has occurred as that could be reason for drop outs?

[Peterj]

First check your cables and connectors (also the quality of cable and conectors).
4G interference is also a big problem nowadays.

Ok will do.
Do you mean mobile 4G?
Thank you for your help and others.

Hello camps4life re your pm if you press the OK Button twice it will show your signal strength mine is 99% on BBC 1 just try checking it with and without the splitter that way you can see if it is or not degrading your cable signal here is a snap shot from my LX3

Appreciate that nsw9154.
Sorry for the silly question bit is SNR the signal level and what is AGC?
What should the correct numbers be on both?

[nsw9154]

Signal to Noise Ratio and Automatic Gain Control, their are no real set levels as every channel transmits at a different levels, on the sat side i always tune my dish on the weakest channel because if you can pick up a clear signal on the weak transponders the stronger ones should be better if you get my drift, if you look at my levels on BBC1 i have a SNR of 99% and a AGC of 29% but it could just as well be the other way round without any noticeable change in the picture quality as every thing is variable and nothing is set in stone some of the weaker channels only give a SNR of about 23% but are watchable while some channels give you 55% and are constantly breaking up

[champs4life]

Slightly confused why and how would you tune dish to weakest channel?

Also what do you mean by weak and strong transponders?

It's really weird that channels fluctuate so much on SNR and AGC, I thought most would be the same.

Because if you can pickup a signal on the weakest channel you can get the rest of them perfectly fine, where as if you tune to the strongest channel you may not get the weaker ones. Transponders are the frequencies your channels broadcast from, the provider can or satellite operator can dial the power for individual transponders up or down and that can have massive effects on the signal strength you receive especially if you are outside of the intended viewing area such as expats who watch sky uk in Europe etc.

So I need to tune my dish to weakest channels or has it been done automatically already?
Sorry what's expat?

When did a dish creep into this? I thought you were on cable?
Confused.

Champs has 2x sat and 1x cable setup.

Where channels have alot of fluctuations in numbers on both SNR and AGC should I be worried if its too high or too low on one or the other?
