</div>Change your wiring, if needed/possible.<br>
<br>
At least change all the plugs to properly mounted F plugs.<br>
<br>
Remove all supermarket grade splitters, with and without power, use<br>
instead high-grade splitter, low insertion, using F plugs.<br>
<br>
Install a proper masthead amplifier, as close to the antenna element of<br>
your aerial as possible. Make sure that the power supply injector is<br>
properly connected.<br>
<br>
Make sure that you are using the LNA on the Nova-T 500.</blockquote><div><br>I recently changed from using a single antenna to two antennas combined using a triax reverse splitter with f-connectors. This increased the signal quality as reported by myth from about 59% to 70% but I still see a lot of errors....I believe i have turned on lna (see previous posts). <br>
<br>The only tuners on the cable are the Nova-T 500.<br><br>The only wiring not changed is about 5m between the antennas & the splitter (not easy to reach the antenna :-) This may be the next steps as well as trying a real amplifier instead of the reverse splitter....<br>
