A gain of 10.2-11 at the end of the run is a gain of 10.2-11 of both
noise and signal, where the noise is much, much higher. That is why
it's been strongly suggested that you put the booster at the entry,
where the signal is at its strongest and the noise at its minimum.<br>
Placing the amplifier at the lossy end is one of the most common
errors in cable runs.<br>

I have been
having
intermittent
issues with
recording
quality with
my HDHomeRun
Prime with
Comcast
cablecard
since the
inception of
this project.
I am really
remembering
why I gave
this HTPC
nonsense up
years ago, but
I'm already
significantly
invested in
this at this
point and I am
determined to
see it
through.<br>
<br>
Issues<br>
Intermittent
issues with
recordings on
MythTV. Some
recordings
will be
perfect,
others will
have
pixelation
periodically,
others will
have heavy
pixelation,
yet others
will be so bad
that the
recordings
stop during
playback. The
same channel
will not
behave the
same
twice--sometimes
things are
fine, other
times they are
terrible. This
seems to
happen on any
channel and do
not occur at
any particular
time of the
day or during
any other
operations or
recordings on
my network.<br>
<br>
During
playback the
pixelation
occurs at
exactly the
same points on

<div class="gmail_extra">Hmmm, is the signal strength value
-4.6dBmv with the booster or without? I strongly suggest
your take my advice about placement of the amp. I am
curious as to the dB signal output of the amp is it 12dB?<br
