Poor cable signal upstairs
I have an issue with my cable signal. The Comcast analog signal comes in basement. From there it is split (Comcast splitter) to a TV downstairs and one upstairs. The downstairs receives a nice picture. The upstairs has poor video and sound. I believe, before the basement was finished, that cheap cable was used to go upstairs. The basement is now finished; running new cable is not an option. Would an amplifier help the signal get upstairs without distortion? Are there reasonable ($$) wireless options?
Note: at one point we had digital cable with a digital box from Comcast. We still had a poor picture upstairs.
Thanks,
Paul
You might want to try putting on new "F" connectors on the ends.
That can degrade an othe rwise adequate signal easier than you can imagine. I run my own and even I sometimes do a bad job crimping on the "F" connectors. ...we're only human.
