Hi,

I have just installed my new TV and my Sky, both works fine. My TV has a built in Freeview so had to use the ariel to work the Freeview. Went upstairs to watch my other TV, it wouldn't work at all! The signals were all gone! The upstairs TV has not got a built in Freeview. Before it was working ok with my old TV (Not built in Freeview)!

Do i need to get a Freeview box for the upstairs TV or have i just installed it wrong?! :confused:

Any help would be appreciatted.

unplug downstairs arial - does that help? Did you have a coax splitter installed? when moving cables you must of disconnected something. Track all cables back and check them. etc etc etc

If you didn't have a coax splitter, how did you chain your arial through two devices?

Arial -> splitter->upstairs
->Downstairs

is the normal way of doing it. Do you have two arials on your roof?

That's a confusing statment.
You have 1 arial but it's plugged into 2 sources and you don't split it?
