    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?

    UPC will install an extra point from your drop box outside your house you can not do this yourself.

    What sort of cable did you use to extend the cable run to the new location? That thin, cheapy, unscreened stuff that most shops sell?

    Have you tried re-scanning for channels. I had an issue were some of my music channels were frozen and re-scanning for all the channels fixed the problem.
