[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 739804, member: 176256"] I don't understand what the connections between the splitters and the satellite dish are there for. You can't combine satellite and terrestrial signals this way. They just shouldn't be there. There should be an RF feed from the dish to the HDR (to be upgraded to two feeds in the future). The HDR is then connected to the TV by an HDMI cable. The TV aerial feed has two options. The better would be to go straight to the modulator and the output of the modulator fed into a multi out splitter for ALL the TVs including the one downstairs. If you don't have enough cables in the right place, then take the feed to a two way splitter, one for the downstairs TV and the other for the modulator. The RF output of the modulator should then go to a multi out splitter for all the other TVs. The modulator itself is connected to the HDR with a scart lead. There's still the possibility of too low a signal after the multi out splitter and the need for an amplifier (to go with the splitter) or a DA (distrinbution amplifier - which would replace the splitter) [/QUOTE]
