"Hello All",
I have a problem with bad interference on the reception of my Home`s TV`s that are connected to Sky Digiboxes in other rooms via satellite quality co-ax cables [Sky Box RF2 output] - this has just started yesterday and the Sky TV is un-watchable on these TV sets.
The affected TV`s have been wired to the Sky Boxes for over 10 Years with perfect reception from the RF2 output - they are on separate cables.
I can only assume that this is being caused by something interfering with the Sky Box RF2 Channel 68 signal to the satellite quality co-ax type cables that run underfloor from these TV`s to the Sky Digiboxes [4G Mobile Phone Transmission signals ?] - or perhaps the interference is being picked up by the Cables themselves ?
There is no interference on the Sky reception on the TV`s that are directly connected to the Digiboxes via Scart leads.
I remember this problem coming up on a Forum either on here or on one of the TV / Freeview / Satellite Forums that I was looking at some time ago when I had BIG Problems with my Home`s Freeview reception immediately after the Digital TV Switchover in London.
I think that the `Expert Advice` was to change the Sky Digiboxes RF2 Output Channel away from Channel 68 - ?
Having looked at how to do this on the Sky Boxes I need to know what Channel to retune the RF2 Output to - I live very close to the Crystal Palace TV Transmitter Tower so I need to avoid selecting a Channel which is `within an existing multiplex` - BUT obviously one that is NOT receiving the Interference that I THINK Channel 68 is getting.
Can Members suggest a Channel to try this on that is not within a Multiplex that broadcasts other Channels from the Crystal Palace Transmitter - ?
When I turn off the Sky Boxes I can still see the Lines of Interference across the TV Screens - does that suggest that it is the Cables between the Sky Boxes and the Secondary TV`s that is `receiving` this Interference ?
IF that is the case perhaps what I intend to TRY - changing the Sky Boxes RF2 Output Channels will NOT stop the Interference - ?
I would really appreciate some help with this please.
Regards,
Chris
