Below are all of Mark's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.Thanks guys for your messages.I found out that the wall plate I had was not good enough.I bought a new wall plate from Screwfix thatwas named Screened Flush Diplexed f Sattelite an Coaxial TV/FM/DAB outlet.
Basically it had a single input (main Cable from communal dish to the flat) and one Sat outlet and UHF outlet.
I also bought a good quality cable and fixed two f connectors.I did change it to Single Feed Mode and voila..I have all the channels excpet the subscription ones
Cheers Guys!

Hello,
I have moved into my new apartment in Glasgow and the wall plate socket has two outlets names SAT and UHF.We are not allowed to set up a dish but there is a communal dish that is providing freeview to all flats.(There are more than 6 flats in the building)The building agency has told me its possible to get Sky Tv through the dish and sockets.
I have a sky pkus hd box and would like to use that to watch freeview.There are two RF out sockets in the wall plate.
Would I need to connect a male RF out pin from the wall socket with an F type male pin at the other end connected to the Dish input 1 or 2 to the sky box or just use a cable from the UHF to aerial in behind the sky box?
I did connect both these ways and there is no signal shown on the sky box.
But the UHF connection to freeview box has signal.
It would be grateful to know how I could use the Sky box properly.
