Mike: Thanks for the response. I would imagine that all the cables are coax rather than satellite grade, so that would probably explain the problem.
The issue now then I guess it the fact that all the cables are built into the walls and the loft floor, so replacing them is going to be a pretty big job.

I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help with.
My house has 5 TVs; kitchen, living room, bedrooms 1-3. The living room and bedrooms 1+3 receive all muxes fine, no problems at all. Signal strength is a little poor on 2 and A-D but I guess that is expected before the 13th. The other two rooms however, only receive 1 and B. Nothing at all in the 40s range.
I have tried various combinations of TVs and set top boxes in all the rooms, and the result is the same regardless of the equipment. The only difference in the rooms as far as I can make out is the length of RF cable between the aerial/booster-splitter and the wall sockets. The rooms are experiencing the problem have roughly double the length of RF.
Would the cable length be responsible for the problem? Do the cables wear over time? They were all put in approx 25 years ago when the house was built.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
