True satellite extra box

Does an extra box on True satellite weaken the signal received to the original box

 

As is obvious I know very little about satellite signals !!

Yes it could but a weaker signal for a "digital" transmission which you are talking about does not cause any problems until it reaches a certain "too low" level.  It's not a linear function.  Until the digital signals reaches a certain "too low" level the picture will look as good at a low level as it does at a high level.

 

Now the old style "analog" transmission signal quality follows a linear function....you can start seeing signal degradation as the signal progressively weakens.

I added a second box to our PSI system with a dual receiver unit on the dish that allows each box to receive separate signals.
