Power issues?

I am working at a venue running a whole hog pc dongle, with this all the fixtures work correctly. I have taken the address listed (which I recently went through the whole setup) & put them into show express. I am having issues with it.

The room is about 40x120, there is 20 fixtures & about 600ft of cable (the installers left a bunch of extra). Of course there is a terminator at the end. The last 7 fixtures are not responding to what I have setup as is seen in the program. Such as, the mega panels when the red channel (channel 1) is raised, one will turn green, 2 will go blue & one will strobe multi. It seems that most of the fixtures are responding to the appropriate channels but not receiving the correct data. Any ideas?

Looks like missing dmx signal power.
We suggest you to try with a "dmx booster" (just before the last 7 fixtures).

Is there one you would recommend? Or are they all pretty much the same?

No.
Please ask your retailer to suggest one.
