Jimm -

Both satellite systems? Each with its own lead to an LNB?

And both used to have 5/5US/5* and both have lost them?

But everything elsre OK?

Odd.

Do they appear on the listings but not work, or gone entirely?

Hi Steve,
They have gone, not even in the listings, if I press for 105, or 174, it comes up channel unavailable.

I have been watching sky tv on my tv in another room via tuning the tv in the other room into sky via an anologue channel (used channel 38). Digital changeover has now completed in my area (WR5 2)and on retuning the tv in other room it only picks up digital channels and so is not receiving sky in any way. Is there a way I can still pipe the sky to tv's in other rooms via the coaxial cable, which is routed via a router box in my loft. Should have mentioned, tv in other room has freeview built in.

wayne: You will need to switch to "analogue mode" to tune into the signal from the Sky box.

Hi, I got a new Sky HD box and have set it up fine. Up until now, Sky has been set up so that it can be viewed in every room, but since the new box has arrived, I can't see it in any room at all. I've tried searching via manual tuning but nothing. Please help if possible.

Alison Gold: You need to ensure whichever aerial cable was plugged into the "RF2 out" of your old Sky box is plugged in to the "RF2 out" of your new box.

Alison - are you sure the new box supports remote viewing?

Do you perhaps have to switch on an "RF OUTPUT" option?

Did you by any chance recall the maxim "When all else fails, RTFM?" (Read The Manual).
