Signal Strenghts

rs8

Recently I installed a aerial outside to receive Irish Saorview Channels, so I got to tune them into telly and have got 100 Percent Signal and 100 Percent Quality.. Have the cable coming from the aerial outside going into a booster box and then into the telly and I have received all channels fine. The problem I have is I have ran a cable from this booster box to another telly so there would be maybe a run of say 15metres or less on this cable and this is going into a saorview box. I have received all the channels alrite but the Signal I'm receiving is only 34 Percent and the Quality is 100 Percent. Cant really figure why I'm not getting 100 Percent Signal on this telly As I have it on the other telly which is working off the same booster box .. Just stations are flickering on and off on the telly that has the 34 Percent signal.. Hope this makes sense, any suggestions would be appreciated thanks

Can be many reasons
Is the cable double screen, like satellite type, CT100?
Is the cable running beside the main cable which can pick up interference.
Is the cable not have tight corner, cause a kink?
are there good clean connection at each end of the cable.
many more reason, it is hard to say why unless visual inspection and testing is required to find out why.

What kind of 'booster box'? Maybe post a photo, showing the connections & any model name & no.

You may be overloading your system and not need the booster at all. Can you try feeding the second TV with a splitter instead?

34% of what, 100% of what. There is no standard. Every TV is different.
