good idea!

It's worth a go, at least. The problem *has* to be purely one of signal
loss in the buried cable. I suspect the DTT signal at your main receiver
is fairly marginal (perhaps you suffer from impulse interference?), and
the additional attenuation pushes it below the threshold.

You might also want to try swapping the Freeview boxes around, in case
one is significantly more sensitive than the other.

If that doesn't work, you might want to try an amplified splitter
(assuming you'd rather not replace the buried cable!)

Other things to try.....

Can you get Analogue signals (if available from the aerial) into the
distant TV successfully?

If not, i'd suspect the piece of cable is a duffer.

Time to get out your trusty analogue multimeter and check for open,
short, stray voltage, whether you can "see" a short deliberately placed
at one end. and maybe some other tests I haven't thought of!

if it don't work with the connectors, try it without and if thats ok
then put the connectors on better.
