[QUOTE="Penners, post: 690412, member: 306576"] As well as our Humax Freesat setup in the sitting room, we also have two upstairs TV's on Freeview boxes that are supplied from a single good quality digital aerial. The coax cable from the aerial comes down into a splitter, and the feeds to the two Freeview boxes come out of this splitter. One of the Freeview boxes gives no trouble at all. The other suffers from regular dropouts of sound - sometimes for 10 - 20 seconds, sometimes permanent (until I switch to the Programme Guide, at which point the sound returns). This unreliable box also seems to go into update mode much more frequently than the other one, each update taking 5 - 10 minutes. This happens every two or three days. I have tried replacing the unreliable Freeview box with a spare one that I have, and the problems then continue to occur on the spare box. This suggests to me that the fault lies somewhere in the signal feed, rather than the box itself. The aerial and coax feeds were set up by a professional installer, who said there was quite enough signal strength to supply two TV sets. Do you have any suggestions as to what the cause of these problems might be, please? [/QUOTE]
