hi folks,
i hope somebody can shed some light on this for me. i have 4 tv's, one connected to virgin media and the other three are connected via a splitter and a 26db masthead amp in the loft to a digital aerial. 2 of the 3 are analogue crt's and the other is a 17" flat panel with freeview.
recently we found that the picture was getting worse than normal, so i unclipped the masthead amp power supply (which felt very warm) and just made sure the co-ax connection was ok, which it wasn't so i connected it correctly and snapped the back back on. i tried the psu in a different room and by now it wasn't working at all about 2-3 hours later we noticed a burning smell coming from the psu and the case was starting to go soft so of course i disconnected. i bought a new psu from maplin and tried that. nothing. just interference. went into the loft, disconnected the masthead amp and fitted the aerial directly to the splitter. nothing, not even a weak signal. tried a portable aerial and although it could find some channels they were extremely poor reception
anybody have any suggestions? is there anyway the tv's could have gotten damaged by the overheated supply or could there be a simple solution i could give a go?
desperation setting in cheers
