[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1075240, member: 176704"] Why this issue happened recently after the channel changes has been already addressed as above, but 10-15m of cable shouldn't be a problem provided it is (a) decent sat cable that has not been bent sharply or otherwise damaged, & (b) the F-connectors on either end are properly fitted. If they are screw-on connectors then I would carefully take them apart because they can easily become partially unscrewed from the cable and that may pull the centre conductor out of the centre of the F-socket on the sat box or tv (happened to me recently and took time to trace!). I usually screw the connectors fully onto the cables and then wrap the joint with the cable with self-amalgamating tape (even though it may not be in damp conditions) because that stops the problem of the connector "unscrewing" itself from the cable.
