TV Signal Loss to Bedroom -'21 Solitude 377mbs

[DennisK]

I have a problem trying to get local TV channels in the bedroom of our 2021 Solitude 377mbs. The diagrams provided by GD are attached. I receive local channels on the LR TV with no problem. I've traced and labeled all cables. There is a cable from the signal booster that runs to the pass thru. That cable ends at a 4-way splitter with a connection to the bedroom, pass thru, bunk and loft. In this configuration, the BR TV does not find local channels. If I connect the cable running from the booster directly to the bedroom cable, local TV works fine.

If I put the splitter back, there is no local TV reception in the BR. To rule out a bad splitter, I replaced it with another splitter. Same result. My thought is that the 4-way splitter is introducing too much signal loss, -7db per connection, for the TV in the bedroom to find local channels. I do not have another TV available to test local reception at the bunk, loft or pass thru connections. I've spoken with 2 GD customer support persons who said they understood my problem, but had no answer. I can work with the direct connection to the BR TV at the moment, but may want to add another TV in the pass thru area for an outdoor TV this summer, so I need a good resolution.

Are there any 377mbs owners out there that have this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Anyone out there with an idea to solve the problem?

Can I introduce a second signal booster just in front of the splitter at the pass thru?

Many thanks to anyone who can offer suggestions or a solution!

Have you tried terminators at the unused connections?

Maybe change the splitter from a 4 way to a 2 way and then a selector switch to choose bedroom or outside?

I removed the links to the diagrams, but had to insert a link to something or it wouldn’t save. I saw diagrams in the Reference section. Can they be posted there?

If the diagrams or drawings are not from Grand Design or have Grand Design on them then they are able to be posted. The drawings that you had posted were directly from Grand Design with there name on them , these are what they do not allow to be posted. If you see one in the Reference Material please let us know.

Took me 2 year to figure bedroom tv .Simple fix .first . tv on booster on good signal. Use the remote. Bring up the menu. Find setup. Tv must be setup before channel scan .
