triax link for RF2 on skybox

Hobbsie · 18 Jul 2015 at 12:10

Hi all just fitted a triax link to plug into the port on new sky box that dont have RF2 out anymore.
All works fine and dandy until i plug the RF in which is a cable direct from aerial.
When i plug the aerial cable into triax unit so it can modulate RF with the RF2 signal the picture goes fuzzy like interference.
The 2nd i unplug the aerial cable the picture is perfect and i can still control sky etc.

DTV is fine and has a lovley picture so i know the aerial is fine which is were the confusion lies.

Im wondering that there is interference on the aerial that the digital TV is not picking up, and because im modulating the RF signal down an analogue channel its picking up interference that Digital is not?

Hope some aerial guys out there can help me
I know this is written badly but my english/spelling etc is not the best, Sorry.

thanks

ok looked up my local transmitter and spoke to an aerial rigger and they said to put it in the 40's tried from 40-49 but still fuzzy my guessing is that i may need a 4G filter?

hmm ok so if i leave on 40 for example it shouldnt be fuzzy? iv ordered a 4g filter only a fiver so wont hurt to fit, i guess its time to jump on roof and check signal levels. oh the joy.

thanks lucid for your help.
