cable booster
At my rec property I have cablevision TV wired into the cabin. It works perfectly for the rainy days but I tried to run a long wire (125') out to a guest trailer in the yard and have it there too. ...

Just went through something similar so here is our situation. Last fall we purchased a 3 acre lot on a local river, beautiful spot and had 30 amp service already due to the former owner having a TT. Where we park is down in a valley so that does not help reception with our Wineguard with wingman. It is kind of a black hole for reception and we only get four channels consistently and two of them are pretty much junk content. Now late night and very early morning we could get around 15 channels.
I put up an auxiliary antenna on the utility pole that is on the high ground on one side of the lot and run the cable to the "cable" hookup on the MH. The problem is the pole is 200 feet away so no signal to MH. Ordered a "Channelmaster" signal booster, they advised the variable booster so that is what I got. One piece goes in line next to the TV and plugs into 110 outlet, the other piece goes in line at the antenna. This gets us about 30 channels in the morning, still lose some during the day but still much better than it was. I have no clue why there is such a loss of channels during the day but we can live with what we have now. Jim.
