Hi,

I'd looked around on a few forums to find out whether it was possible to move the superhub as it's in a really stupid location to cover the flat, we don't get any signal in about half of it. Got the impression it was straight forward enough, went to Maplin, asked for the correct cable and connectors and explained it was for my cable superhub.

So I get home with my new 11m cable instead of the previous 2m, fit the connectors striping back enough to expose the copper as much as was done previously, and it doesn't connect through to the internet at all. Is 11m really too long for the signal strength or is there something else fundamentally wrong with what I did. Are there any kind of checks?

If it helps the cable that I bought is "Banbridge LC5509 OFC Copper Triple Shielded Digital Coax Video Satellite Cable"

Cheers.
