On the Internet and in satellite television, in addition to the signal, the power supply voltage to the converter is transmitted over the cable, as well as the special signals necessary to switch between the converter modes. Try not to use a cheap Chinese cable RG6. If there is no such possibility, then when laying, try to reduce its length to a minimum between the converter and the receiver. Its low quality parameters will affect the loss of the signal.

Installation of satellite television connectors

Note that weather conditions have a significant impact on the signal level. With abundant rain, snowfall or dense cloud, the signal level may generally be absent. Snow or ice, sealed antenna, also adversely affects the level of the signal.
• Hold all adjusting nuts. Do not forget to control the level of the received signal.
