[QUOTE="Findlay2, post: 1120527, member: 417168"] I'm pretty sure it is a quad - at least that is what I asked the installer for about 11 years ago when the Grundig was installed, a few months after the Humax. It worked fine for ages. I hadn't used it for a couple of years before switching it on last week. Because it wouldn't switch on at all, just showing a flickering green light on the front panel, bought the Teknikal box to replace it. The Teknikal switched on but wouldn't tune, so I set up in the front room using one of the feeds to the Humax to test it and it tuned OK. When I connected it up in the back room, again no signal. So I took the f-connector apart to check it - seemed fine so I just fed the central core into the Teknikal input and suddenly got a signal and it showed normal TV sound and vision. When I touched the shield wires to the input surround the signal went. I Then switched on the now disconnected Grundig and found the green on light was working ok. I got this to work again by just connecting the central core. When I touched the shield wire to the outer of the socket it lost signal and switched off. [/QUOTE]
