Elisabeth G: If your husband can get the signal back on again by lightly touching the dish then it means that the clamp bolt used to retain its horizontal plane (left / right) adjustment could do with getting tightened.

Thanks for your reply, although I am still confused? I currently live in a flat with one main satellite dish. The main TV point in the front room is a quad plexer with a playback and BT point. The Sky + HD is plugged in ect but we cannot recieve a signal in the two bedrooms. Both TV's have freeview built it.

I'm not that bothered with recieving sky in the bedrooms with the magic eye, but I just want to be able to watch standard TV in my room.

Paul S: Sorry for the confusion but I misunderstood what you actually meaning, but as far as the bedrooms are concerned what type of wall plate has been fitted in these rooms, because the method you used to connect the Sky box into the wall plate in the main room would appear to be OK.

And as far as the main room is concerned can you actually receive Sky and are you using only a single feed into the box? the point I am getting at is that there might not be a connection between the main room and the bedrooms as far as sending a signal to there is concerned.

It would be of assistance if you opened the wall plate in the main room and gave an update on any markings seen printed on the rear label, as although they are all called Quadplexers there different brands of these plates.

Despite a new TV (Philips 3807)my mother is still unable to receive ITV1 at PO6 1DL.
I think tht this is a recent problem. Is it a soluable one?

andy wells: You should try a signal test on ITV's mux Ch27, this achieved by going into the "manual" tuning facility and entering Ch27 into the box but do NOT press search or scan, because the signal strength / quality (the important one) that this mux is being received at will (or should) be immediately indicated.

You could also try the same test but using mux Ch24 (BBC) and compare both sets of readings.

andy wells: Meant to mention, that as Philips TV's generally uses frequencies rather than channel numbers Ch27 corresponds to 522.0Mhz and Ch24 is 498.0Mhz.

Your new 4G interference map is very pretty. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any key or explanation of what the different colours signify. Until there is suh a key, I don't think that is a help.
