Can you try it with some sort of kludge setup before you make a clean
installation?
I use one in my junk room. It only mostly works when it's up near the
ceiling.
I'm in a one story stucco house. There is probably metal screening in the
walls. The signal has to go through the roof and the ceiling.
I'm feeding a Z3801A. It gets up to 6 satellites some of the time, down to 1
about as often.
In the last ~40 hours, there was 1 short dropout to 0 satellites. Dropouts
are more frequent when it rains.
