Hi,

I have a Sky HD box connected to a labgear distribution amp to pipe it through the house. I tried to connect the terrestrial aerial to the Sky box but each time I connect it it causes the sky picture to blank and lose its signal. The connection to the distribution amp is via RF2 out from the sky box. Is this a problem with the box or am I doing something wrong?

Basically I wanted to receive sky and the digital freeview channels on each TV (they have built in freeview decoders) so that the kids could watch stuff in one room whilst I watched something else in another....only other method seems to be subscribing to multiroom?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
 
Which transmitter are you receiving you terrestrial signals from, it is either that your terrestrial signal is over amplified, or there is a channel or multiplex on the same frequency as your digibox is sending its channel out from RF2, the default channel is 68.

so if it needs moving, you need to go into the installer menu, then go to RF Outlets and change the channel from whatever it is set to, to one a couple of channels away, then test on the TV, this will be trial and error, but you should get a result in the end. If it's because you have an over amplified Terrestrial signal with a high noise threshold, then you may need to attenuate it.
