Hi All,

Well I changed the sky chanel but still had issues until I put a 6db
attenuator on the tv aerial. Voila at least the rf coming out of the sky+
box in node 0 can be displayed on a locally attached telly. Unfortunately
plugging the RF into the loft box and looking on a remote telly shows no
signal again. At least at this point I am down to the loftbox. I am
guessing
I may need more attenuation or the loftbox is just broken but I seem to
remmeber the loftbox wouyld distribute the sky+ signal with no aerial
attached so it could just I need the extra attenuation - unfortunately I
only had one attenuator so could not test.

I must admit this is all quite weird - I am not used to trying to reduce
signal strength in a tv setup!

Chris
