I have 2 sky inputs to "dish 1 input" and "dish 2 input" from wall plate to HD box and a HDMI cable to my LIVINGROOM TV this all works perfectly for viewing sky HD in my LIVINGROOM.
But when I take a flying lead from my main aerial socket on the wall marked "TV" and touch it against either cables marked DISH INPUT 1 , DISH INPUT 2 , AERIAL IN , OR RF2 it cuts my sky signal only when I touch my normal aerial cable against RF1 on my box the sky signal stays.
So forgetting about my normal aerial for a second if I take a cable from RF2 on my sky box to my bedroom TV I can watch sky on analogue channel 68 which is fine but i get no freeview/digital which is obvious as my main aerial isn't connected but when I try to introduce my main aerial cable via the "aerial IN" my sky signal goes I can get either freeview/digital to my bedroom via the return port on my LIVINGROOM wall plate with a flying lead from TV port or analogue only from RF2 but not both in my bedroom and can't get my magic eye to work either in my bedroom because of this

The both are communal dish distribution systems and I can't get access to them when I touch my
Main aerial cable when it's plugged into Tv at the wall ( which is from my communal aerial ) against just the side metal work of both dish input cables ( when connected ) its cuts the signal .
Suspecting that it may be a faulty box but its only 2 months old I tried to cut out the cabling through the box altogether so I put a cable from my main aerial along with a cable from RF2 in a splitter into the return port to send both to my bedroom without going through the box this gives me freeview/digital "AND" analogue to my bedroom Tv and my sky signal remains and I can use it as normal record , pause playback etc but my analogue reception in bedroom this time is really bad very snowy/fuzzy

This is unbelievable I have done what you said and when I take the main aerial into a splitter and straight into my box marked "aerial IN" it cuts my sky but still sends freeview/digital (only) to my bedroom via the RF2 into the return port even when I then unplug the main aerial from my sky box and leave it lying on the floor just with RF2 into my return port to my bedroom I am STILL seeing my freeview this is getting weirder

Ok so now my bedroom Tv is gone as well now with just Rf2 it's as if it was still holding some sort of digital charge for 5 mins to give me freeview in my room I need to connect my main aerial back into my return port with my splitter and RF2 this is the only way I can get freeview and a fuzzy sky pic in my bedroom atm

And I may also add that when I put the main aerial and a cable from RF2 into a splitter my sky signal cuts off it isn't until I plug them into the return port on my wall plate that the sky signal comes on and if it's not plugged in firmly my sky signal goes this is the weirdest thing I've came across in my life

Can you explain carefully where the piece of wire needs place between is it the "bare end" into "aerial IN" in the back of sky box and the "un-stripped end" into the end of my co-ax end which is still plugged into my main aerial point on the wall plate marked " TV "

If my aerial signal providing freeview is overly strong therefore "swamping" the satellites signal would fitting an attenuator maybe solve the problem

Can anyone tell me why my main aerial FEED is zapping my satellite signal when I try to connect it to the aerial in port on my HD box the reason for having to do this along with a cable from the RF2 port is to get freeview/digital channels and analogue/sky channels to my bedroom TV
