Hi Everyone. I am hoping somebody can help me. I have the following set up...

I have the main VM line coming into the house this then goes into a yellow konig booster which has a return path. The line is then split 3 ways. 2 lines run into 2 different rooms for TVs and the other 1 runs about 25 meters into the garden room. here it is split into 2 more lines. 1 is for the TV which and the other for the broadband. all the TVs have the eurovox EX7000 hd boxes connected.

I have scanned all the boxes from the main feed and then connected them up. In the house i get all the channels and no freezing. Initially i didnt up then i bought the yellow konig booster and this fixed this problem after playing around with the booster.

The problem is i cant seem to get the sky 1 in the garden room and some of the channels are freezing like espn HD. Infact if i do a scan it wont even find the transponder for sky 1.

Can anyone help me?
Would i have to buy a another konig amp?
Does anyone know how to set them up properly?

All help really appreciated.

Thanks

my first idea would be to double check all your "f" connectors, had a similar prob yesterday , just reconnected them and all ok.

I have just checked those and they are all fine. I have even removed all the other splitters and still no difference. Any ideas anyone?

Try swapping boxes to see if the fault is still apparent this will rule out a box/tuner fault if it is then it is more likely a signal fault. you would have been better served if you had bought a booster with 4 outputs thus eliminating the need for the 3 way splitter, something like THIS would have been ideally suited for your situation.

Hi, So i removed all the splitters and connected up the main feed directly to the booster and the out put direct to the garden room which is approx 30 meters away. Was the same. I adjusted the booster and still no joy.

Any ideas anyone?
