I've recently just moved and added a new tv point so I could have my tv on the wall, I'm not getting any signal at my tv when I plug it in. I know the terminations at both ends of the cable are fine and the tv booster is on. I tried another point up stairs and I'm also getting nothing. Also getting a decent enough signal from antenna using a signal finder.

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Hmmm....are you getting a signal on a meter with coax to the aerial direct, ie not via a coax socket?
Is this a new-build house?
A few years ago I attended a brand new house in an estate and there were coax sockets in virtually every room, but no signal at any of them. Taking the cover plate off the one in the kitchen showed what appeared to be a proper termination, but further dismantling showed there was about a foot of cable connected and stuffed up the cavity...and that was that. Every socket the same. The site foreman said he had had some complaints about this already and had been trying to contact the aerial installers but, guess what? No reply. Apparently they were on ÂŁ100 per house and basically just did enough to make it look ok, but not actually connect anything. To be fair, they did leave an aerial in the loft, with about six feet of cable attached, dangling down behind a joist, but of course it wasn't attached to anything. So, they did the quick "job done, where's my money?" and scarpered...and saved quite a bit in cable costs too.
This was in Scotland too...
 
If you have signal at the amp then it’s most probably that causing the prob.

Check it has power as most active devices won’t give anything out otherwise.

Checking input and outputs are correct

Tone and ir coax back to amp to check no breaks or shorting between stinger and braiding.
