thanks,
I went into my sky box and the Rf was set as in the guide 68 and off. I didnt know what to set it to so I changed the RF channel to random channels and it didn't make any difference. Now, on the tv upstairs there is picture/sound break up even after turning off all the equipment downstairs.
Somethings i forgot to mention in my last post, the aerial extension is connected to a wall socket which goes through a booster and up to the bedroom. There is still a tv signal without the booster power on.
what channels should i be changing the RF to?

Brian: I dont know to what you are referring. i ve tried changing the RF outputs but as the aerial extension isn't connected to the sky box can it still be affecting the signal? I ve changed the RF channel and tried retuning the tv, as described at the top of this page, but it still doesn't work.

Hi jb38,
Yes the cable is fed by a booster that is next to the wall socket.
The wall socket is connected directly to the aerial.
The wall socket is not connected to the sky box. It used to be, but i removed it all to eliminate problems and boost the signal.
When the booster is off the TV upstairs can still view freeview. Analogue picture is terrible all the time.
I tried changing the HDMI cables and tried a scart lead. Still had the problem. I think it could be the TV as the source. Or it could be linked to the following.....
We had a loft conversion a couple of years ago, the aerial had to go on the roof and the electrician, messed up the cabling (some how not sure on details). After we had the new aerial installed there was no signal so guy came back and said we need a booster and it worked after that.
There is another TV upstairs (freeview) which has a direct feed from the aerial and that is fine.
I think it may be best to have another feed from the aerial put in rather than an extension or buy a surge protector for tv interference?

hi, I think i am having an interference problem. I ve had reception problems in my bedroom for the last year, but due to engineering work on emley moor and not watching much tv I never figured out what was going on.
After much messing about, the problem is that when the tv is one downstairs(showing a picture, standby is fine), i get interference upstairs on another tv. On the tv upstairs I can only view mux 1 channels, all the others loose signal. soon as the downstairs tv is put into standby all the channels, upsairs return.
The aerial to the bedroom comes in as an extension from the lounge which has the tv, which is causing the problem, next to it. The problem tv is running Sky HD and this problem has not been experienced on the tv which uses analogue, in a different room.
What can I do to rectify this? any help would be appreciated.
thanks
