Wave Interference with aerial booster

Just bought a SLX8 booster from beststuff as I wanted to use a Magic Eye and my existing booster was the old type that didn't allow the bypass.

Swapped over the boosters tonight and the Magic Eye works great, but I am getting what I can only describe as waves of interference, moving from left to right, on the satellite feed on all the TVs in the house, except for the main one (which gets its feed direct from the Sky+ box).

Any ideas as to what could be causing this and how to rectify it?

Ta.

It's probably picking up interference from a terrestrial TV transmitter. Try changing the SKy box to another RF channel.

Press Services, 4, 0, 1, Select on the remote and go into the installer's menu. Don't change any of the other settings !

Thanks, had found my way there after searching elsewhere.

Selected RF Outlets and then RF Channel Number - which had been set at 59. I take it this is what you're referring to? Tried lots of different numbers there - the very low ones made things much worse, none of them made it any better.

So still stuck.....
