Dish 322 UHF signal not strong.

[2rk]

We have two 322 receivers that connect 4 TV's. However, the TV in one of the rooms is a bit far away, and the UHF pro remote sometimes lags behind and sometimes we have to push the buttons two or three times to change the channel.

Here is what I tried:

-Replaced the batteries
-Moved the uhf antenna on the receiver in a horizontal position so its more in line with the room that is having problems. This helped quite a bit, but there is still a lot of lag.
-Called Dish, they said I would have to "extend" the antenna by adding in a coaxial cable and connecting the antenna to it.

The remote is a UHF pro which has 19945 written in the back. I searched these forums, and people are mentioning getting a "attentuator"? Or try changing to band B on the remote? Where is this band on the remote?

The thing is that I don't know what to try next, or should I be trying things in combination?

Thanks.

Try using varying lengths of coax to move the antenna to several locations away from receiver and other equipment at that location. One of the pieces may be causing interference with the signal.

Just get 2 splitters and 3 short coax cable jumpers and do this
