    ok so i ran a cable from the rf2 outlet on the back of my sky box and ran it outside up the wall of the house and then back in to a second tele....
    the recption is perfect..... but i'm getting white lines across the screen every now and then.... has any one any ideas.... ive changed the frequency on the rf2 output... didn't work.... turned off the wifi... in case that was interferring with it... no difference.... i even put a booster on the line.... and it did nothing .... as i say the picture and sound are perfect, except for these intermittent white lines....
    any ideas... as i'm pulling my hair out.... and have very little of it to waste
    :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    have you tried different frequencies on the rf2 or did you only change it once?

    Do you have an aerial plugged into the back of your skybox if so it could be interference caused by that...

    What type of cable have u used to connect to the second tv? Is it stamped with a name eg RG6, CT100 exc....its possible that the cabling used is badly screened and this is picking up interference from something

    i ruled out the cable first.... as i used a meter long fused cable...... then i thogt it was the tele.......(19" flat screen) i read it could have been that somewhere..... but the old 14" portable i used had the same interference on it.... then i went uo and down all the RF channels.... then like a bolt of lightening ...... it came to me.... maybe its the sky box...... i had an old dis used one lying around a friend used to own..... piped it up..... and like magic it worked......

    DOES ANYONE THINK SKY WOULD REPLACE MY OLD BOX AND GIVE ONE OF THEM NEW JOBIES... with the larger hard disk ( i think its the hd box):rolleyes::rolleyes:
