[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1073769, member: 176256"] OK, if has been working properly then something has changed. Where is the TV aerial? First likelihood is water ingress into the cable somewhere. Lots of cowboys will just leave a cable loose on a roof as they bring it over the eaves and when the wind picks up and rubs the cable over the tiles this eventually breaks the insulation and lets water in. How does the aerial look physically? Has an albatross tried to sit on it and bent it down or broken a load of elements? How many outlets do you have in the house? Move the TV (or a smaller one but make sure it's the same for testing everywhere) and see if they're all the same. One of the satellite outlets will be through a triplexer internally but the other is fed direct. If you have an adaptor from TV plug to satellite plug try both the satellite outlets. At some point you're going to have to find out what feeds the quadplex I'm afraid. Could it be as simple as someone flicking a switch on the power that goes to this whatever? I reused the old switch from our immersion heater in our bedroom to feed a socket in our attic for our multiswitch and every so often "someone" accidentally turns it off. [/QUOTE]
