[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 33281, member: 176256"] I presume that you are then taking a terrestrial TV aerial lead from one of the aerial sockets to the TV. The black screen, is this when you are viewing the digibox on your TV or when you are viewing your normal TV programmes? If normal TV, is this analogue or digital terrestrial? If it is the digibox and you are using a scart lead check that it is pushed in correctly at both ends as sometimes not all the pins make proper contact. On my system at home I often lose audio after the curtains have been pulled to! A further thought if it's a digibox. If the box is set to give an RGB output and your TV doesn't understand it then this will give exactly what you describe. Try plugging the scart lead into a different socket if you have more than one on the back of the TV. Alternatively try using the Video output on the box as this always a composite video signal. You may have to choose the scart input manually on your TV. I've heard of the stacker/unstacker things and it's just possible this might work if there is a spare satellite signal output in the distribution cupboard and mains socket. I have no personal experience unfortunately as I just put another cable in if I want it. You should hear the grief I get from my wife about all the cables at the back of TV... I think that this digital terrestrial malarkey just means that you should have good clean signal from the aerial on the roof being delivered to all the flats. The easiest way to find out if it works properly is to connect up a Freeview type box and see if it works. PaulR [/QUOTE]
