RE: Sky Installation / UHF boosters



Following my visit last night I'm going to blow up the installer!
 
He left the RF output from the Sky box set to channel 35 - one point on from his BBC2 picture.
So no picture on the RF :-) (I know the picture is better through scart, but the presence of the Digibox is enough to confuse my In Laws, let alone learning how Scart switching works too!)
 
Anyhow does anyone know the menu options to change the RF output of a Pace sky digibox?
 
Cheers
 
Daniel

Subject: [ukha_d] Sky Installation / UHF boosters

Morning all

My father in law had sky "installed" yesterday. And the installation chap
removed their UHF booster from the TV aerial, as he said it would "blow up"
the sky box. 

Now this was news to me. Is their any reason why he cannot have a booster on
his TV aerial, and then running the RF chain through the sky box and video?
(snowy picture without it!)

anyone have any thoughts on this?

Also his booster is in the lounge, and there is a single aerial cable coming
from the loft distributor to the lounge, if we remove the booster from this,
the other TVs (which are fed from the splitter in the loft) don't get a good
signal. - has anyone come across this? Tis a new one on me (I would have
thought the booster should be in the loft before the splitter?)

Regards

Daniel
