He means the TVFool signal report. You gave this link for it in your previous thread:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...e2cbfa8fc32d44

It has the database datecode 20165271215. It will probably be dropped from the TVFool server soon, so here is the image:



The strength of the signal can be stated in two ways, by signal power in dBm or by Noise Margin in dB.

I did the analysis in your previous thread, post #14:

Is your antenna outside or in the attic?

Try a test with the antenna going directly to one TV with a short coax and then with the amp going to just one TV to eliminate a possible problem in the distribution system.

You have three possible problem areas: the antenna, the amp, and the distribution system. Your troubleshooting technique must use the process of elimination.
