Marc,

The aerial may be too good...

If the signal is significantly up on what was before you may be trying
to mix too strong a signal. Try removing the aerial connection a few
millimeters from the socket to introduce some attenuation and see if it
helps...

Subject: [ukha_d] Loftbox Problems

Hey All,

Looking for some help with my Loftbox. I'm hoping someone here may
have already solved this problem :D

My loftbox has been working perfectly for 2 years. I had a normal
aerial (about 10 years old), CCTV, Satellite and a media server all
going into it. All the channels were pefect and everything was
right with the world.

So, for some reason I started to loose the digital terrestrial
channels on one of my digital TV's. I decided it was a good time to
buy a proper digital terrestrial aerial. The new aerial did solve
this problem and the picture has never been better.

Now the problem started. Since installing the new aerial, I am
getting interference on the satellite and CCTV channels. The digital
terrestrial are fine. I am guessing that this new aerial is
capturing a wider range of channels, and these are interferring with
the channels my satellite, cctv and media server are on. The new
aerial has a fairly large range of channels it is supposed to
capture, but the satellite and cctv have a limited number of
channels they can be outputted (is that even a word ?) to.

I thought of isolating the terrestrial aerial from the rest, but
then I loose satellite, cctv and my media server on those TV's, so
that's not really an option.

So, anyone else had a problem like this ? How did you get round it
if you did ? Are there channels that I could put the CCTV, satellite
and media server on that are less likely to suffer from interference
from the new aerial ??

Any help much appreciated.

Marc
