ranirottie Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 does anybody know anything about tv installation? When Devon went digital we couldn't get any signal on out tv's in the caravan even tho they have built in freeview. So,hubby set up a satellite dish and sky digi box for me and a free to air digi box for himself at the other end of the caravan. One lead comes from the dish but then splits to go to each tv. It works brilliantly until one of us switches on to ITV /channel 3, then it either freezes the other tv or blanks it out completely.Has anybody any ideas as to what we have done wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. Its very frustrating as i do like to watch my ITV soaps and hubby doesnt appreciate me cutting out his programmes.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siadwell Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Oops, try again. We had a new dish put in yesterday, and I asked if I could split the cable to use on futher teles and was told a firm NO, it would not work properly was told we would need a twin output LNB straight from the dish. Here's a good site that will explain...LNB mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 to avoid havng to buy a new aerial (we already recieve digital through our aerial but only have one lead coming off it on a 3 bedroom house) i bought a satellite dish and boxes, as we have a 3 bedroom house and want one in the living room i needed a quad LNB( 1 for each bedroom and one for the living room), you can pick them up really cheaply, if you google the make of your dish they should pop up, all you need to do is run a lead to each tv from each output on the lnb i think you can get a lnb that will serve 8 rooms now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 thank you very much. I have printed off reams of information,shoved it in hubbys hands and said "read that" So hopefully we will be able to watch tv without having to fight for channels. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
