Hi

Hope this is posted in the correct area and that someone out there can help with my problem. I have Sky with a Sky Plus box and a Labgear HDU681 distribution box in the loft. It's all connected as per the diagram below. All works fine, great picture in all rooms. The only problem is that the distributed Sky picture in the bedrooms is really poor (all other channels, terrestial and freeview are fine). Just Sky where the picture is bad. The larger picture below shows just how grainy the picture is.

A couple of things I have tried.

1) I fitted an attenuator on the 'RF2 Out' connection at the back of the Sky box in case the RF2 signal is too strong. Makes no difference to the Sky picture in the bedrooms.

2) For some reason I can't figure out, if I disconnect the 'TV to Aerial In' connection in the living room at the Sky Plus box, The Sky picture in the bedrooms is perfect, however the Terrestial and Freeview pictures are hopeless!

I have no idea what the problem is - any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
