    Hello!

    I need to move the TV socket to other places in the living room, about 12-13 m.
    I currently have such a socket. Moving TV Socket 12-13m in Living Room: Minimizing Signal Loss, Cable Types & Installation
    What is the best way to do it, of course, I mean the smallest possible signal loss. What kind of cable to use, shielded or not necessarily? Full copper or copper plated enough?
    I'm thinking of this solution:
    1. Removing the socket.
    2. Cable connection via F connectors and barrel.
    3. Plastering the old socket.
    4. Installation of the socket in a new place (or is it better not to install the socket, but directly the cable with the TV plug).
    The house has an antenna installation based on the Hirschman CMU 108, to which several directional antennas are connected, set for Ślęza, Żórawina, the Czech Republic, and an FM antenna. The signal reaches three subscriber sockets (a room on the first floor, a living room where I want to move the socket and a kitchen). Two TVs are currently connected.
    On the old socket, sometimes I had a problem with reception, TVP1 HD (pixelosis) through the DVB-T MT 4160v-2 tuner. I don't know if it's the fault of the decoder or the antenna installation. That's why I'd like to make this transfer as good as possible.

    And the reprogrammed amplifier for DVB-T?

    No, I didn't change anything. Could you please advise what could I do?

    You probably won't do it yourself.
    I found it link
    There is a link to the pdf at the end.

    Thank you for the link, can you please advise what parameters should be for digital reception?

    I don't know what parameters are you talking about?
    You can find the list of transmitters here: link
    You can find the list of Czech transmitters here link
    I found a programming manual in Polish at home. I put it in the database link

    I meant what should I change in my amplifier to properly receive a digital terrestrial TV signal.
    Should I check on which channels the programs from the given relays are broadcast and put them on my amplifier?
    The Polish manual will definitely help me :D .

    That's right.

    However, first check on the amplifier which channels are programmed.
    If the amplifier was reprogrammed after the introduction of digital TV, check only channel 64 (MUX-1 with TVP-HD). Is there such a channel on the amplifier.
    If it is not there, use any currently free channel amplifier and retune it to channel 64. But the amplifier to which the antenna on Ślęże is connected.
    Connecting the antennas may be a problem, because there are two UHF inputs, and you have three antennas.

    The amplifier was not reprogrammed. I just bought a set-top box, connected the antenna and started receiving programs.
    There are three antennas plus an antenna for the radio.
    I'll try to do that, but I'm also a little afraid of messing something up, because I can live without one in HD, especially since there is SD on another MuX, but of course it would be better to have it :D

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around relocating a TV socket approximately 12-13 meters in a living room while minimizing signal loss. The recommended approach includes using a coaxial antenna cable with high shielding (>95dB) and ensuring proper connections with F connectors. It is suggested to either install a new socket or connect the TV directly to the cable. The existing antenna installation utilizes a Hirschman CMU 108 amplifier connected to multiple directional antennas. Participants discuss the importance of checking amplifier settings for digital reception and the need for reprogramming to accommodate digital terrestrial TV signals.
