    If the bedroom TV is getting the 17 channels from UPC then definitely no, a Saorview box will not help. It would be best to pay for UPC multiroom which is 5 Euro per month and a basic digital box and guaranteed good signal.

    If you have split the UPC signal yourself then using better splitters and better quality cable may help, but if the signal is too weak to start with splitting it in two might make it impossible to get a good signal. Generally UPC would run a new cable to make sure every TV gets a good signal.

    How many channels are currently on the TV and how was the signal split?
