See previous post Sat16Apr 0910hrs.
In desperation have unplugged Sky and Freesat dishes and plugged aerial direct to TV. Now get all channels (TV says 52) and can use ok with dishes plugged back in. ESPN shows in channel list, but SkySp1/2 don't. Should the also appear in list? Can then view ESPN ok on BTVision. As I plug Sky and Freesat back into mains or dish leads to wall sockets ESPN disapears, but still get all other channel, including 19-Dave. Only link of all leads is at wall sockets.(4leads from loft to wall sockets on seperate plugs in loft but two double plates at wall socket.) Should that be a problem?

In the six mux lists of channels transmitted there is no mention of ESPN, SkySp1 or SkySp2 being transmitted. I can actually receive ESPN, why is it not in the lists? Could you also confirm if SkySp1/2 are being transmitted, but as BTVision suggest I possibly need a booster to pick them up.
These channels are not listed on the Waltham transmitter either and BTVision say I will receive them from there as the transmitter is closer.

Thanks for all you help. I've given up on Sandy Heath till Sept'11. Switched aerial to Waltham and now get 104 channels. Think missing Mux D though. Just pleased to get my sport back.
Plenty enit!!
I'll still monitor this site though.
I've read somewhere boosters amplify the interference and can make things worse, is that right?

Does a Sky box put an analogue signal out on the rf output. I beleive this is how I get Sky signals to other teles via an distrib.amp.
I was hoping BTVision box would do the same but have had no luck.

I've changed my aerial to 'W' type and am receiving signal Mux psb 1, 2 and 3. TV says 31 channels. I'm looking to get ch34-ESPN, ch41-SkySp1, ch42-SkySp2 (I have BTVision card) also ch19-Dave with no luck!!! Moved aerial through approx.10 degrees 20-30 times, no change. Should I be able to receive them or will I have to wait until signal strength improved Aug2011? Sun11Apr did get ESPNSkySp1/2 but have disapeared. Would Waltham Tx be better?
