bob - depends what (if anything) the sockets are connected to!
A common system will have a double socket in the main room; one to the aerial and the other on to the other rooms.
If you open the sockets the wiring may give you a clue!

Linda what do you mean by "ordinary"? If you have a satellite dish - eg for Sky - you cannot*** receive "Freeview" but you can get almost exactly the same from "Freesat"
*** unless you have a VERY strong signal thay you can receive just from the cable.

Happy birthday to you.
And a new look too - presumably the reason I stopped getting emails then got a big catchup one!

Elaine are you saying the cable is loose, or that it is broken and you can see an unconnected end hanging down?
If the latter, and you are getting some reception just from a wire, you may find an indooer aerial will do. Post postcode if you want sig strength estimate.
PS Re Cheques - do those unwilling to accept them carry mobile cr card machines?
Aren't charges often over the £100 guarantee anyway?

In all seriousness, you should have in your terms - on the written quotes/order confirmations - right of access to their properties to remove work not paid for.
elaine - unlikely that just securing it will be enough. Seems the cable or a connection has failed

Hi all
I have an Amstrad DRX890 model Sky HD box which has not been used for some time.
When plugged in it starts "Sky HD please wait" then fairly quickly goes into "UPDATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE Do not disconnect.... /may take up to 10 mins"
And stays there forever, occasionally reverting to the first screen for a few moments.
I have tried with and without a valid sky card. No phone connection.
Any suggestions?
Is there a better place for the question?

MrMIn - It may be that you are getting too much power with the amp. Do you know how to turn it off?
Is it accessible to by-pass?
Incidentally do you think this is an official site? It isn't.
