Hi, Im looking to move to freesat and away from Virgin.
I have virgin media AND a satellite dish feed coming into an outside wall box. The 2 cables connect to a "TESI-02N 2-way splitter" with 5-1000MHz written on it. Then a white virgin media cable goes into the house into another 2 way splitter inside - the outputs from which go to the broadband router and the virgin media box.
I have a LG smart tv with satellite input. I wondered if I can just plug the cable from the virgin media box into the TV. Seems odd that the satellite and virgin cable are plugged into the same splitter and I wonder if it was just to keep it tidy in the box ?! I tried plugging the virgin media cable into the TV and gone through set up but it has no satellite signal. I am technically savvy just not on this subject so any pointers would be much appreciated.
The satellite dish is very old, maybe 10-15 years but used to work with Sky. I read something about LNBs, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
