Overload issue

Hello

First of all, I want to point out that I'm a novice in this area, so I don't understand the jargon regarding the installation of antennas/TNT, etc.

I'll explain myself in simple words, I haven't found the solution on this forum.

Today, I wanted to change my worn-out cabling that connects my TV, my TNT decoder (for French channels), and my decoder for foreign channels. Both are from the brand STRONG (they are not new).

My neighbor kindly agreed to repair it; cut, trim, etc. this cable, and he did it wonderfully. It's all new, rigid, clean, and smooth.

Everything was working well. It was all fine, but later when I turned on my foreign channels decoder (ext 2), it says antenna overload, and I hear a whistling sound or little fleeting pops.

However, the TNT decoder (ext 1) works without any problem.

What should I do?

Can I attach photos of my installation if possible?
P.S. I have a 16/9 Samsung TV.

Thank you for helping me; I'm getting stressed out :(((

Hello,
So this "decoder for foreign channels" is a satellite receiver?
What is its complete reference?
Try unscrewing the input cable from the satellite dish and see if this overload still appears

Hello, I unscrewed all the input cables
unless it’s the wall socket, but it can’t be that, otherwise my TNT decoder for French channels wouldn’t work either

actually, I don’t have a satellite dish, it’s probably located on the roof of the building
we are only connected by LNB cables.

So you have a mixed TV/SAT wall socket, and maybe FM?
Did you do what I advised you? Disconnect the F socket at the input of the sat decoder and see if this overload is still displayed?

If this device indicates an antenna overload when it is disconnected, then there is a problem. What is its full reference?

No, it's when it's plugged in that there's an overload; if I unplug it, I get "no signal"
which is logical.

This box is therefore a TV/SAT separator?
The cable from the box to the wall socket needs to be shortened as it is unnecessarily long.

The old one was very long and it always worked; I bought a short one
and it worked too

it's been 2 decades since we had long wiring and it was operational
the problem lies elsewhere because the DTT works anyway

it’s the decoder for foreign channels that is overloaded

anyway, I'm going in circles, I don't know what to do

my neighbors no longer connect with the building's cables
they have the orange box

this building has always had connection issues

I have the box in my room but in the living room it’s impossible to link so we use TNT boxes

So this terminal is not at fault and that's what I wanted to check.
The F forms need to be redone properly and be careful, the slightest "hair" from the braid touching the copper core => short circuit => antenna overload display:

it's just been done properly, that's what I was saying, and it was working

but 1 hour later it tells me overload

I just changed all the files and everything is brand new, I bought everything again

The wall socket is connected to the satellite dish and a rooftop antenna for digital terrestrial television + TV/SAT combiner
