Hi everyone, new on hear but trying to see if anyone/other installers have had the following issues:
I have recently installed a system into a barn, 60cm dish with a hybrid LNB, this feeds down into what might be loosely termed a plant room, the feed from the dish enters a wideband splitter, one feed goes off upstairs to a 1TB freesat receiver, the other feed goes literally 300mm into a second 1Tb freesat RX, the hdmi output from the rx goes into a triax modulator, one output of this, hdmi, goes to a tv some 2m away, the rf out from the triax goes to a standard slx distribution amplifier, hope you are all still with me !
Ok, so the rx upstairs is working perfectly, hasnt missed a beat which has amazed me considering the problems i have had with a product i feel is not yet fit for purpose, however the freesat rx in the plant room works beautifully but regularly has audio distortion, the type where the speaker cone is scratching the coil, switching off the box for few seconds cures this, friday the customer said switched off in the evening &in the morning presented with nothing on this plant room box either via hdmi or D/A,yet upstairs working fine, son , practical, swapped the upstairs boxes round, box upstairs worked but again no signal downstairs, swapped the splitter outputs , no different, so despite the upstairs box working perfectly off the same LNB no signal on the other. Well, its gotten me perplexed, i am beginning to wonder if any of the other gear in there is causing rfi, particularly switched mode psu, have alarm box, dyson psu, freesat psu, d/a etc, would love to hear if anyone has had same issues, have replaced box anyway...no different !
