john: What type of cable are you using to connect the Freesat box to the TV? Have you selected the correct input on the TV that the cable is connected to? What make/model of TV and Freesat box are you using?

John:

Further to that said by StevensOnln1, the two cables running from the LNB are so that you can watch one programme whilst recording another on the same box, that needs two separate signal feeds hence the two cables. You cannot join satellite cables together to feed more than one box input, it doesn't work that way. If you want to feed signals to more than one satellite receiver you need at least a quad LNB for two boxs or an Octal LNB for up to four boxes. All have to have separate cable pairs for each box top maintain the recording feature.

Only if you don't have the ability to record satellite programmes, or don't want that facility, can you then feed each box separately with a single cable from separate outlets on the LNB. Again, you cannot join cables together to feed more than one input on any box.

If the TV and the Freesat boxes are all HD capable (not just HD ready) then you should be using HDMI cables between the boxes and TVs to enable them to display the HD pictures, a SCART cable will not offer any HD pictures.

Hope that helps clarify what is possible.
