Lots of switches have more output (db gain) on some ports that others, the idea being you put the longer cable runs on the higher output, and the shorter runs on the lower gain outputs. See where your sky feed were connected, if they were 1,2 try 11,12 or vice versa. Might be too much signal maybe for the sky box? (doubt its too little based on your other comments). Easy check anyway, sounds like its bugging you as it would me why it does not work as expected ;-)</blockquote>
