Hi All,
I've just joined you guys and have a question concerning Sky Hd Boxes.
Having just upgraded from sky+ to HD I was dissapointed when I connected my conservatory TV to the RF out( same coax lead as with Sky +)! The picture quality was shocking, so having called out an engineer he explained that the new HD boxes have a significantly lower power output from both of the RF outs. This now means that I cannot watch Sky using this method without boosting the signal externally.
Anybody else bumped into this prob???
Cheers

Hi Matt,
That's good news ...at least it's possible to get e good signal from the outputs. I must have a box with low power outputs. Sky here I come!!
Thanks

May be worth bringing up the hidden installer menu & changing the RF output frequency? Perhaps the new box isn't outputting the same freq. the old one was, rather than it being low power?

Has to be done quickly.
Should be an option in there for RF outputs. Just don't mess with anything else.
