Still have my "L"'s on as my MC only arrived yesterday but I would like to ask a few questions about signal.
I live in the Dandenong ranges and we have always had a few issues with getting TV. So we had a guy come and put in a new antenna. He also put in a signal booster. At the time I only had a cheap set top box but got a good picture on most channels, except Ten. As part of my MC upgrade I got a new TV with inbuilt HD turner. When this was plugged into the line, bingo! Every channel perfect. Sorry about being long winded.
Last night I plugged the antenna into my FUSION HDTV DVB-T DUO DUAL 2 and set about turning it. No problem so far. On all of the channels I have 100% signal, I think the lowest was 95% but I think (?) my dB noise level is to high, as I’m not receiving a very staple picture. I have a little more success with the FusionHD than with Vista MC but either is not a patch on the TV. I would need to have another look tonight (at work now) but I think the db level was getting to 30db. Which I gather is not good?
So after reading a few post do you think I need to get a Variable Attenuator? Should i turn the booster off?

Any advice or help greatly appreciated.

First describe the antenna path including all other outlets, splitters, boosters from the antenna onwards.

What I have noticed with the DViCO cards is that they can be very fussy with what type of fly lead is plugged into it.
I had reception issues (checked whole house cabling) and used the same fly lead which was working great with a STB, however gave poorer results with the DViCO / Vista MCE. I changed / swapped out the flyflead and the signal to noise ratio issues I was seeing were greatly reduced.
