[QUOTE="easyrider, post: 1073585, member: 354952"] Holy thread revival batman! Today I have just been up to the dish and swapped out the LNB for a Sky 6 way Hybrid LNB for Q/HD model EL010 [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/FoOGfjW.jpg[/IMG] Took me a few minutes to swap it over....I did this myself as when sky came to do the install of Q a few weeks back the engineer said the dish was to high :( He took one look at the mutliswitch and wanted to install another dish and run another cable around my house and drill into the lounge...I explained that WF100 was installed into every room but he wanted to drill a new cable in....So i said what? No way? The cable is already there... Anyway my plan is to get everything in place so the next engineer can just connect the Q box to the Hybrid LNB feed. In the meatime I'll be watching Freesat on the HUMAX boxes. Until i get Q installed in the coming weeks. My question is I can't get BBC 4 says no signal despite both my tuners on my Humax box say V Good.? Im guessing I have to bypass the Multiswitch from the Hybrid LNB for Q? Four cables from the LNB are going into the multi switch can I unplug 2 of them connect them to my lounge feed and then connect Q? I'm also guessing I can no longer use one of the the Wall Quad Plexer? The Sockets on the left have 2 x wf100 cables not connected but in place [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/63ZqTCc.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/MiaVIqp.jpg[/IMG] Above are the connections in my main lounge I want Q in.... My questions are? Why am I not getting BBC4 and a few other channels despite having a good signal on both tuners on my Freesat box? ( i have removed power from Freesat box and performed a channel recsan Do I have to bypass my Muiltswitch for Q? Do I have to discconect one pair of WF100 cables from the quad plexer and connect these direct to the Q box? Ideally I would like Freesat in the other rooms going from the Hybrid LNB into the switch using the Humax Boxes. [/QUOTE]
