Hello All
Well Ive been tinkering about with getting sky to work on my bedroom TV which is being piped from my digibox downstairs, I'm doing this whilst waiting for my new kit to arrive to go the whole hog and wire most of the house for TV/SAT/DVD etc. I am however having some picture issues with the satellite channel on the upstairs TV!!
My setup is simple Satellite cable from the RF2 Output of the digibox running outside and then into the bedroom TV straight into the back of the TV. I also have a digieye gadget which I can use ok but have removed during the troubleshooting process.
Initially I thought the problems were down to poor grade cable but Ive just finished changing this (Satellite grade cable from B and Q, copper braid and what looks like silver foil) and still no joy. Other analogue channels are perfectly clear and the sky reception on the main TV is also spot on. The cable run is approximately 5 metres or so. The picture is not ghosting or anything but fuzzy or maybe you'd call it grainy.
Any ideas? do I need a booster for this short cable run?
Im worried that when I come to run the RF Out up to the loft box when my kit arrives the problem will only get worse by just amplifying the crap signal
TIA
