[QUOTE="Findlay2, post: 1120507, member: 417168"] I have encountered a strange thing lately. My old Grundig freesat box wouldn't switch on properly, just a flickering green light on the box and no output from the scart to the TV. I just bought a cheap new Teknikal box which also didn't seem to work. It switched on but no signals detected. in desperation I disconnected the antenna lead and cut it back about 6 inches thinking it may have broken. For some reason I did not fit the plug on the lead, just held it up to the input and pushed the centre core in. The box then worked fine tuning to all stations. But it stopped working if i connected the outer shield, no stations or signal. I found the old Grundig box showed a proper stable green light with the input disconnected and worked fine on just the central core, but packed up when the outer core was connected. Anyone any idea what is going on? It is difficult to fit an f plug and not use the shield part of the cable. The feed comes from a quad detector. 2 other cables go from the dish to a Humax box which works fine. [/QUOTE]
