Brianist, yes I have confirmed that the RF Power Supply is on by looking at the Sky menu. I believe I have 9 volts out of my RF2 but the sky picture is still poor. Any ideas?

Briantist, I think I have now resolved the problem. The analogue coaxial from the loft aerial came down into a cable outlet plate behind the main television. I replaced this plate. Whilst I had this disconnected I noticed that the sky picture improved to near perfect on a tele plugged into rf2. Ironically when I fitted the new plate and reconnected the cables the quality of the sky signal on the other teles reduced marginally. I haven't played with altering the sky output channel from 35 as the current picture is more than watchable. Still mystified as to why the sky picture is slightly poorer when the main aerial is removed.

I have just set up Philex SLx4B (27875R) and distribute to 3 bedroom tv's from my Sky HD amstrad box. It has worked reasonably well since I set up 2 months ago albeit the sky picture quality was just about viewable but the freeview channels were good. Yesterday evening the sky channel quality was unviewable. This seemed to coincide with a message on the screens to retune the tv's at the end of August. I checked all the connections, replaced leads between rf2 and amplifier but no improvement. I rechecked sky box and altered rf2 channel from 35 to 30 to see if this made a diffence, retuned all televisions but no improvement. Postcode is cb4 2pa. Do the experts on here think the problem is with the output of rf2 from the sky box. In reading this thread it seems that the Amstrad box isn't the best for the magic eye operation. Can I test the rf2 with multimeter and is it 9v I should be getting. Any help much appreciated.
