Sky > Component Problems

[Repster]

Hi, hope somebody can help me.

I am running Sky+ in the lounge. With a plasma panel and component amp. The Sky signal goes to a JsTech RGB > Component box which in turns goes to a JsTech Component splitter. One of these goes to my AMP the other goes upstairs to my Component connections on my LCD in the bedroom.

The problem is I can get sound no problems upstairs but can't seem to get a picture. The only way to get a picture is to turn the Amp AND Panel on in the lounge! This has me baffled as surely they should run independent the way I have it setup?

Any help in solving in this would be appreciated, Thanks.

Hello Repster

First test would be SKY > RGB2YUV converter > LCD TV to 'prove' a straight connection works.

Good call, i'll try that after dinner

Tested the connection direct to the LCD upstairs tonight as you suggested and it worked fine Joe.

Hello Repster

Now insert the 1x2 YUV + Stereo audio splitter and try the cables to the LCD on both sets of Outputs - do both Outputs deliver Sound and Video to the LCD?

I seem to have accidently solved the problem! I went sleep last night after watching something upstairs on the LCD. Turned everything off and went sleep. Got up this morning I decided to start from where I had left off. 'NO PICTURE!?!?!'

Frustrated I went downstairs checked wires. For some reason I turned off/on from the Sky downstairs, went upstairs and the picture was working. Remote did not work however until I pressed the 'Sky' button.

So I guess this is actually a Sky box problem now? anyone know if this is just a bug or is there a way around this?
