Signal strength with all the usual checks done, eg splitters

To cactikid. Will all F Connector Couplers do the job properly? How will I know if the cable fits into it ? I am always worried about different fittings, eg between the back of a Starview and the back of a Kryptview
And I don't understand why I had a 2 Way Splitter in my brother's room and what has happened with the cable he used for his own box until 2001

 

they are good for sat those f couplers,hopefully you have the correct cable to get the right size to fit,i think i have 4 different sizes of cable over the last 30+ years.

if you dont have the second cable used now get 2 f connectors and a joiner which is male on both ends and screws into the f connector on both cables.

 

To cactikid.
Thanks for that info and i will order one today.
BTW Those channels like FX are still missing after a week but I am not the only person who hasn't got them
