Hi there,

We've just had a home hub multiswitch put in and had all our TV cabling tidied up.  Problem is that our Sky has stopped working.  We have a standard Sky digital decoder.

The home hub guy is adamant that there is a signal at the TV location so we got the local Sky tech in to check it out.  I wasn't here at the time so I don't know if he checked the signal strength using his meter or by using the decoders on-screen meter but he said the problem is that there's no signal.

I borrowed a friends decoder (mysky) to try and it worked fine.  It's on-screen signal strength meter did show the signal strength was quite low.  The picture was fine.

Do the home hub multiswitches degrade the signal as it passes through?  I would have thought they'd have been designed to not do this.

Is it possible to somehow boost signal strength?  Some type of in-line signal amplifier or something?

Thanks,

Nick
