I have used Sky digital since launch using the original panasonic box.
The digibox was connected together with a Sony DVD player and a Grundig video recorder to a Hitachi TV. Since it was installed by a Sky Engineer I have had to leave the aerial input lead to the digibox unconnected but touching the aerial input socket to obtain a terrestrial tv picture. Sky and indeed a local installer were at a loss to explain why this occured
My original digibox died and so I bought a new Pace Sky+ digibox to replace it with the intention of upgrading to Sky+ at a later date.
The original problem regarding the aerial input lead is now far worse. To get a perfect picture on Sky it has to be unconnected to the digibox and not touching the body and to get a picture on terrestrial tv it has to rest on the aerial input socket on the digibox.
Connect the aerial direct to the tv and I have a perfect picture so ruling out an aerial fault. Does anyone have any idea as to what the fault could be. I have replaced all the aerial cables between the digibox and the video and tv. I have also changed the scart leads and now Im begining to suspect a fault within the video.
Any help will be grtefully received.
