Hello All

Well Ive been tinkering about with getting sky to work on my bedroom TV
which is being piped from my digibox downstairs, I'm doing this whilst
waiting for my new kit to arrive to go the whole hog and wire most of
the house for TV/SAT/DVD etc. I am however having some picture issues
with the satellite channel on the upstairs TV!!

My setup is simple Satellite cable from the RF2 Output of the digibox
running outside and then into the bedroom TV straight into the back of
the TV. I also have a digieye gadget which I can use ok but have
removed during the troubleshooting process.

Initially I thought the problems were down to poor grade cable but Ive
just finished changing this (Satellite grade cable from B and Q, copper
braid and what looks like silver foil) and still no joy. Other analogue
channels are perfectly clear and the sky reception on the main TV is
also spot on. The cable run is approximately 5 metres or so. The
picture is not ghosting or anything but fuzzy or maybe you'd call it
grainy.

Any ideas? do I need a booster for this short cable run?

Im worried that when I come to run the RF Out up to the loft box when
my kit arrives the problem will only get worse by just amplifying the
crap signal

TIA

Can you take the main TV into the bedroom, and tune it in to work off of
the RF2 cable? That should at least prove whether it is either the cable
or TV tuning which is out. Alternatively leave the main Tv where it is,
and just run a cable from RF2 to the TV, and unhook the SCART, which will
prove whether the RF2 output is working OK.

There can only really be three problem areas, RF2, cable, or bedroom TV,
and trying the suggestions above should show which it is.
