I just installed an outdoor TV antenna, and it is mounted where my satellite dish used to be - on the side of the house, close to the junction box that feeds into the rest of the house.

Having said that, can anyone estimate approximately how long the coaxial cable run would be between the antenna and each of the rooms? I'm just looking for a ballpark figure. I'm really bad at estimating.

I'm in the process of troubleshooting spotty performance in an otherwise good signal location - hence the reason I'm asking.

Chances are, the number of runs and/ or splitters are causing more signal sag than any length of coax. Unless there are splitters dedicated to satellite use only, that are still in the system.

You will need to post your TVF Report for anybody to recommend antenna/ amplifier solutions.
