I have a Ross dish and its pointed at the Astra Satellite. I can recieve all the channels on it in my attic (cable lenght 30foot from dish) but to get the cable down to the sitting room I had to join it twice with gold plated connectors(overall cable lenght from dish to tv in sitting room 70foot). In the sitting room I can only get about 40 different channels (mostly ITV's and BBC's) with Signal Strength 77% Picture Quality 63%. Can anybody tell me definitively is this because of the joining of the cables or is my dish not pointed presisely enough.
