Anthony the Freesat box offers SCART choices of
Composite
RGB
RGB better but I think it was on that when I started.
I recall now that the box menu itself is very hard to read!

MikeP it was not "official" ways I had in mind! I bought my box second hand and have never had any relationship with Sky so I feel free to do what I like with it.
Peter can you describe the box better please. You say 4 feet by 3 feet? And how high?
In a building; on the ground, or up a pole?
What purpose did it serve?
Where do you think it is getting electricity from?
Does it have a label?
Can you open it?
But for simplicity if you wrench it off whatever it is fixed to and short out the power supply it should blow a fuse somewhere!

My best guess is that your dish is not pointing correctly so that tiny changes take it in and out of getting a usable signal.

Dorne as you will see from the above you are predicted to have weak but usable signal. Which could be unusable if you have local obstacles. NB that is for FREEVIEW with a conventional aerial not FREESAT with a dish.
I'm not clear which you have

MikeP I don't think it is illegal to use a phone for radio; satnav, etc.
Or, indeed, for phoning if hands free.

Dorne I suggest you contact a local installer (one with a local address/tel no not an 0845 0800 etc. say where you are and see what he knows. Many will call and assess for free.

I think Nanteris Wood is in England - Oswestry SY10 postcode if that helps.
I live in Chirk but can't envisage a mast.

Dave L - like the man in the orthopaedic shoes,
"I stand corrected"
So with Freeview in Wales they put S4C in the 4 slot - where is C4 ?
Although I live in Wales we get Midlands TV so I never knew.
Just know I had to lie about my address to the STB to get Granada!
