I live in post code TN22 4JX and receive terrestrial TV from the Heathfield transmitter.

I have a tv Link 8 way LoftBox. This failed recently and I was unable to receive signals at all house locations. As the digital switchover was imminent I connected the aerial directly to the tv in the living room temporarily.

The switch over is now complete and all is well and I want to replace the LoftBox and again get TV at all house locations.

I can see from info on the web and elsewhere that the LoftBox does not distribute HD.

My question is does the LoftBox deliver to the master plate in the living room HD signals which can be decoded by the set top box?

HD is required in the living room but other locations are ok for standard format.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dave thank you for your input. The loftbox distributes UHF TV, FM and DAB. The box failed before switch over and I am sure it is the box rather than the PSU.

I take it from your post that the loftbox will pump all the necessary signals round the house and I can view HD at each location if I use HD freeview box (at each location)with of course a an HD TV.

Dave: many thanks.
One last point. In the present set up the aerial goes into the LoftBox and in the living room a splitter is used to feed the signal from the Loftbox down loop to the TV and the return loop to the LoftBox.
As I now have an aerial feed into the living room can I use the splitter to feed the TV and the return loop to the LoftBox? (This was reduce the mucking about in the loft)

Hi I have bought a new TV and it keeps detuning the HD channels. I do an auto tune and it is ok but then overnight loses the HD channels. The TV has been changed but problem persist. Are there any engineering /weak signal problems that might account for this.

thank you

Hi Steve: thank you for your response. The post code is TN224jx. The TV is a Sony Bravia 49xe9005bu. The house has a loft box system and as there are other TVs working ok I do not suspect this (as yet). The TV in question is fed from the house circuit via a Humax recorder. When this is off and we are watching digital tv we get a blank picture with a message no signal. The Human turns off overnight.

Many thanks

Hi steve: thank you for your help. I found the rf passthrough switch on the Humax and activating it has fixed the problem.

Many thanks

Good Morning: I have noticed on my router log that I am getting intruder notices ever 10 minutes through the day and night. The DST is always the same and appears to be a Carphonewarehouse mast located in the Crookham Hill area. The SRC vary located in China, Russia, Vietnam, Japan, US and UK.

Is this usual? Can I ignore them? Is it possible I am being spoofed by someone more closer to home.

Is there any thing can do? Should the DST owner be doing something?

Extracts from the log are below, Thank you in advance.

07:51:17 29/12/2017 Security Warning Intrusion -> SRC=77.72.82.97 DST=92.21.98.128 LEN=40 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=249 ID=58605 PROTO=TCP SPT=41096 DPT=184 WINDOW=102
