LG used to be goldstar so try that code. Cheers, Franc
FRANTIC FRANC said:Why don't you just put one aerial straight to the Sky box and then split rf2 with a tv link compatible booster box to the other tvs.the aerial pictures will be sent along with the sky picture in one cable. most booster boxes have the fm input too. That's what we do and the pictures tend to be spot on.
Cheers, Franc
AidenL said:One more for you Franc, copied from another thread
I'm doing that, using an SLX booster - Ive lowered the RF setting on the Sky Box for RF2 to 42, but my picture quality is still terrible .
When I actually bypass the Sky Box, the picture improves dramatically on the feeds to the other TVs - does this indicate something else wrong in my Sky box?
FRANTIC FRANC said:Hi, name is Franc and I've been a satellite installer for about 20 years & doing Sky digital since it came out. I don't know much about how these forums work but I will be on-line all night if anyone has problems then maybe I could give some advice. Cheers, Franc

AndyMoody said:Hi Franc,
My signal strength is only 50-60% and quality is right down to 20-30% at best. Currently input 2 isn't even locked. I do have a tree that is out the back which I can't attack but surely if it was the tree at fault it would affect all channels?

Soon as it hit April, no signal at all. Sky CS took the view that it wasn't their fault it grew leaves and their installer couldn't have foreseen it? Took me over 6 months to convince Sky CS that I couldn't chop my neighbours tree down and that it wasn't unreasonable for trees to grow leaves in spring. Dish is now on the roof

The reason for me asking is that I was told to call the specialist installation team and they are arriving this Friday and I was wondering if I could say something if they said the same. I've been waiting all in all 4 weeks for this to get sorted and I dont want to wait any longer, if possible !
Thanks Franc, a reply is much appreciated.

FRANTIC FRANC said:I think the special heights team will p*ss themselves with laughter if it is just a case of throwing the cable over the garage roof. The engineer could have just drilled the hole for the 3rd floor and pushed the cable out from inside until it was in reach of his ladder, thus not needing the special heights team at all.
throwing cable over the roof CAN wear on the apex and rain penetration CAN occur. Use a T&K pole if it is a terrace house on the side of the house the TV is located. Keeping the cable straighter and shorter (with better signal strength) outweighs the possibility of water penetration in my opinion. Although we do not use tile clips so the cable IS free to move back & forth. I just offer the customer the choice pointing out that the cable may in time wear and that they will have to pay 50p per metre to replace it in the future if it does occur!
