Thanks Robert - yes the main TV uses the scart and i get a perfect picture
there.  It's a Panasonic Sky box i have so i'll have a look to see if i can
change the RF and see if that's any better.  Maxview CS have come back this
afternoon to say that the way I have connected everything up with their
booster is correct and they cannot see why i shouldn't get a perfect picture
with Sky...

  It might be that the RF frequency your SKY box is using is conflicting
with
  another channel.  Are you using the same RF frequency your ITV Digital box
  used to use.  Keiths taboo channel searcher may be of use also:
  http://www.kat5.tv/taboo.html

  I am assuming that the Sky box is connected to your main TV via Scart
which
  is why the picture is fine there.  If not I'm not sure why your main TV is
  the only one that has good picture, unless this is the one with the
shortest
  cable runs.

  To change the RF output of a Pace sky digibox you need to get into the
  installer menu (From Memory):-
  * Go to Services
  * Select System Setup (Option 4) I think
  * Key in 0, 1, Select

  You should now be at the installer menu, BE CAREFULL!!!

  After you change the RF frequency of the Sky Digi box, you need to retune
  the sky channel on the TVs.  You need to use a spare channel.
