Hi
I have an incoming signal from the TV aerial, which has an amplifier in-line just as it comes into the loft. (We are in a crap reception area)
It then goes down to the Sky+ box, the F out comes back up to an 8+1 amp from Wolsey, passing through an 18db attenuator first.
Now, signal to rooms is OK, but new purchase of a Plasma has shown the sky signal to be not perfect.
I can run a Sat grade cable from the RF out to the plasma and get a great picture. The same cable to the amp gives a poor picture.
Disconnect the attenuator.... crap picture.
Adjusted the RF channel from 68 to 24 - better, but still not great.
Disconnected the incoming Aerial signal from Sk+ box, no difference.
Internal cabling from back of Sky+ box goes to a wall plate, then TV quality RF cable to amp.
Looking for pointers for troubleshooting.....
Is the amp any good? Could this be the problem? It was supplied new about a year ago, when we had a better aerial fitted, but still poor TV reception.... hence the need to concentrate on the Sky signal.
My thoughts are to replace the cable from Sky+ box to amp, then if needs be amp.
Thanks
Jim
