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?


I have a similar setup with around 12 meters of cable, no problems at
all
with the satallite picture, but grainy on Ch5 analoge. I put that
down to a
weak signal on Ch5 as its from the same transmitter.


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

It sounds like cross channel interference as you say your analogue
channels
are fine. The satellite channel is normally set to 68 so you may have

another channel very close to that frequency.

You were right on the money, just tried about 10 different channels and
found one which is now giving me superb reception.

Thanks everyone for all your input

Bed time now......

Cheers

Richard
