I just bought a freesat box, connected it to the sat cable, via a splitter box, only one outlet being used. The message on screen was "no signal" I was baffled by this as I had seen the box working earlier in the day at another address. I reluctantly called out a sat engineer, who promptly put a straight single connection on the cable, and hey presto it worked.
How does the box know its being fed from a splitter?
Is there a way around this, as I would like to run the cable to another room, for an additional box/tv setup.
The engineer told me that The lnb at the dish would have to be changed at a cost of £135.
