[QUOTE="samurai69, post: 157448, member: 200764"] I live near lisbon in portugal on our appartment roof there is a 1.8 or 2 metre dish (i do ot have access to this) In out apartment roof there is what appears to be a splitter box (separates to individual appts) There are several black wires and one white wire (coax) coming from the box to different appartments We have the white cable (sky) coming to ours Inside the apartment i have had to join the coaxes together (this may not be 100% perfect connection) This then runs to my panasonic sky digi box and then via scart to the tv we also have portuguese cable, dvd and video running to TV The problem is i get sky channels occasionaly (ITV, BBC particulrly - which is what i want), but its more off than on saturday for example we had sky for about 4 or 5 hours with out any problems, then after flicking channels a few times the red light on the box froze (remote control light) and then when i re started the box we had no signal, it worked ok for about an hour on tuesday and again on wednesday and again on saturday for a few hours. the coax is old (atleast 5 years maybe older), would that cause the problems what other things should i look at I am no expert on this sort of thing [/QUOTE]
