We currently have 60 tv's (30 on each flr) carrying analog cable, Satellite and a Video fiber feed. Cable is channels 2 to 100 and utilizing traps, I break off 101+ (modulation) for Satellite and Fiber. We are getting a lot of interference from the separate amplifiers of each feed. How can I amplify the feeds without killing the rest. Some runs are 500 feet from distribution and rely on amps. What can I do to upgrade my setup? Does anyone have a nice distribution map I can follow? I am willing to start from scratch at distribution.

In the future everything will work...
 
I have many years in the cable and master antenna business and without seeing exactly what you have in the way of equipment and configuration it is impossible to give you any advice. I don't know how you are combining your signals, what amplifiers and traps you are using, how they are connected, what kind of test equipment you have and the levels at various points. I would also need to know about the distribution within the building.

This is a lot of information, way too complicated to be sorted out here. I would suggest you engage someone in your area who is familiar with systems like this if you want this to work.
