Thomas McKay- To do it properly you need to run a 2nd cable from the Skybox and use a 2 set distributer.
There are other ways but this is the simplest

Ron Chase- If the BTbox and the Moniter have the Video (yellow) Audio (red/white) jackplugs, they will provide a simpler connection.
There is no need to use an Amplifier between the BTbox and the Moniter, Tho you may need one between the Aerial and BTbox if the Freeview signal is weak

David- Bilsdale's signals are all at the lower end of the tuning bar, can you repeat what the engineer did?
Does your TV show a frequency number as it tunes ?
Your frequency numbers are 26, 29, 43, 46, 40. and HD 23 (not all TV's carry HD).
If possible, you could do a Manual Tune using the above frequency's ?

David, Dave Lindsay- I've had a few discussion's over this an i'm still not sure?
I'm lead to believe ?
The Licence is enforced by the BBC but some moneys do go to ITV, 4 and 5,
Every possible format of receiving TV is free to receive BBC?
ITV1 CH4 and CH5 are not blocked on most formats ?
The licence fee only covers live or actual time broadcasts on TV ?
You need a TV licence to legally listen to radio?
There's loads of grey as per usual but BBC1 to CH5 should be ok in to receive in 98% of the country an that is the licence fee obligation?

KZ- I've noticed a few people having trouble with the cheaper Freesat boxes recently,
A full factory reset and 1st time installation has (so far) resolved this

K; It could be under "Default" or "Shipping Condition" ?
There should be one, cannot think of a TV, DVD recrder, Hardrive or any Box that doesn't have a reset built in?
Does it have a make n model number?
