Hello everyone,
Hopefully someone here can help:
I just moved into a new property in Clapham (Crystal Palace transmitter) but I have a major issue with the Freeview.
This is the setup:
- WNC Wistron Quad LNB dish, which is pointing in the right direction with no obstructions.
- From this aerial runs a HT63 BSkyB 0.65 Twin CAI 0006 B cable from 2017.
- ONE of these twin cables has a F-Connector attached at the TV end. That is then attached to a coax cable which goes into the Freeview box. (The other has a coax connector with even worse signal).
Here's the issue:
- Signal strength is all over the place. Sometimes most channels come in clear, other times they drop off completely or scramble/break up at random times. HD channels are especially problematic. Weather seems to sometimes effect it (I think). Traffic outside sometimes seems effect it (I think). Walking by the TV definitely effect it - although only sometimes. Some days are fine, others barely anything works.
Any ideas? Is the issue that it's a twin Sky-type cable and only one of the cables is going into the TV/Box? I've tried putting an F-Connector on the other cable but the same issue remains. Does it sound like a knackered aerial or a faulty cable? Is it the F connector-to-coax that's the problem? Is there is part I need?
TV/Freeview box worked flawlessly at the previous property so can probably be eliminated as a fault.
Images attached.
Sorry for the long post - any help is much appreciated with sports soon coming back!
Cheers!
