Thank you for you input. I am a mechanical kind of guy. When it comes to these issues I can best explain it this way. If I can't fix it with a hammer, it must be an electrical problem. My booster has only three cable connections; Cable, Antenna, and Set2. How would the BR set be connected?

Through the cheapo splitter in the bedroom ceiling. On mine I removed the ceiling light fixture to right above the bedroom tv & fished around til I found it. It was connected with the "in" from the booster to an "out" on the splitter, replaced with a better splitter, connected properly & good tv .

I almost hate to provide input here because there is a wealth of wisdom shared already. But depending on where you are, the problem could start with the park cable connection. In the West Yellowstone park last summer we carried bags full of new park connectors and replaced many each week. Those little connectors are subject to a lot of weather extremes and abuse just from hooking and unhooking which could degrade the signal to begin with.

I carry a bag of those myself & have changed them at parks all across the country. It's usually easier to just change it than to argue with the park folks about their cable reception, 9 out 10 times that little part greatly improved the signal.

Sorry Bob, that was 5 years ago, I have trouble with 5 minutes ago, it was gold & I bought at Radio Shack, that much I remember.
