Lynn Leland: Probably because there is a volume control on the set-top box which is independent of the volume on the TV.
Evidently, the volume on the TV is high and the volume on the box is low.

Gerald Colohan: It's because there is now a two-tier system. The Commercial networks don't broadcast from smaller transmitters. See here for an explanation:

Lynn Leland: I'm not entirely sure that you can use a "splitter" to combine two feeds into one.
Judging by its name, I would say that its purpose is to split one output into two outputs. What you're trying to do is combine two outputs into one output.
You may be able to daisy-chain the DVD and Goodmans if at least one of them has two scart sockets.

Lynn Leland: Perhaps there is another input that can be used on the TV.
What is the make and model number of the TV? And also the DVD and Goodmans?
A scart switch box will work, assuming that you get one with an appropriate in/out combination, although it will mean having to manually switch it on the box.

Lynn Leland: Yes, that should allow you connect the receiver and the DVD, although they will have to press the button on the side to switch sources.

Gerald Colohan: I think that your best bet for additional channels is the satellite free-to-air service Freesat.
I gather that Ballycastle lies low down with hills around it which prevents reception of Limavady. There are no full-service high-power transmitters in Scotland that you could pick up from either.

paul feetenby: As you have it, you won't be able to watch the output of your YouView box unless it has an in-built modulator and your upstairs TV has an analogue tuner.
Which channels are you missing?

John Gleeson: The reason is capacity. In order for the text to be available on HD services it would also need to be carried on the HD multiplex (PSB3/BBCB) as well as the standard definition one (PSB1/BBCA).

miss stella wynn: Yesterday is not available on Freesat. This is because it is only available via satellite on Sky's subscription platform.
