Hi
New here and (as I’m sure will quickly become apparent) new to this … thought it would be easy but seems I was wrong …
I’ve run satellite cable throughout the house while we were doing it up, with the original intention of distributing satellite, Freeview and maybe radio down the line.
we’ve now decided to make do without the satellite, at least for the time being. That being the case, I’ve bought and installed a Yagi18k aerial; this has an Antiference UDF420DC quadplexer on the pole with the cable from the aerial directly into the UHF connector, and OUT1 connected down the pole into the loft space and down into the UHF port on an Antiference A260D. One of the outputs is connected back to an SW750 outlet plate.
I thought this might be enough to at least test the aerial signal to the TV in the living room, but it’s receiving nothing. Unfortunately I can’t find any manuals for the Antiference UDF420DC so I’ve had to guess somewhat … it seemed likely that the aerial should go to the UHF connector and that output 1 would be used to carry the main signal back to the distribution box, without the satellite or radio inputs, but maybe that was wrong …
I’m fully expecting to get any number of facepalms from people on here who know what they’re doing. I still have more troubleshooting to do … I’m looking to get a meter to check the cable where it enters the loft and take a freeview box up there if it gets a signal … however, if anyone knows this hardware and has a whole “muppet, you’ve done xyz wrong, do this … “ idea they can pass on, I would be very grateful …
