Lousy picture with second box - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi there, the wife wanted a tv in our static caravan bedroom so I fitted a twin LNB and moved the SL65 to the bedroom and fitted a fortec lifetime 11 for the living room tv (there both LCD's) and the picture is not good with the fortec. I've been in among the box settings, ratio/pal etc but no change at all and the SL65 is giving a great picture in the bedroom, can't figure out how to improve this, for example when I tune to BBCi for the footy results on a saturday the graphic's are fuzzy and any movement on any picture seems to have a drag effect or slowness. When I flick back to the arieal its perfect. Anybody got any idea's.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried changing the scart cable,assuming it is connected by one?
If it is connected via a RF cable,have you tried changing the channel frequency,in case of co-location interference.

Its connected by Scart, I tried another cable and played with the box settings but no joy, its also connected by an RF (arieal cable) as I use for Teletext.

Get a sky card due to if you get a sky card, sky think that you are a subscriber. The picture will go normal. Buy either one with yellow house on it or the white one. White one is £19.57 from sky. Blue one with yellow house on it is £10.00 on ebay.
