hi
I hope someone can help with this.
I have a labgear ldu608g distribution amp installed in my loft. It takes feeds from 2 sky lnb inputs and from an amplified terrestrial input. I have a sky+ HD box with an io link connected to the din socket and a magic eye in a remote room. Rather than combine the terrestrial signal using the TV outlet at this point, the installer used a combiner connected just before the uplink is connected into the distribution amp.
All worked fine until last week when I lost the satellite picture, not the sound, from the remote room. The terrestrial signal was still fine. I disconnected the combiner from the uplink cable in the loft and put the uplink cable directly into the uplink socket. This restored the satellite picture in the remote room. I then tried to combine the terrestrial signal by connecting the TV out on the master wall plate into the rf in on the io link on the satellite receiver as shown in the installation diagram. As soon as I do this, I lose the sky signal from the remote room, just like the initial problem.
I can't work out whether I have a hardware failure of the distribution amp or io link or some other problem.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
