Hi moose. You're right. Silly me. It is an Antiference amplifier that is mains fed. It takes the line from the aerial on the roof and feeds directly into a second amplifier/splitter. Since last time I wrote I've not had any problems. I tried to look for the 60V load that was giving me shocks...

Unfortunately the signal is very poor without the filter. The amp is probably surplice to requirements now. But I discovered something frankly frightening when I was connecting and reconnecting. Is there any reason at all why the patch cable between the loft and the lounge has got 60v AC...

Thanks for the hints. Had the same problem this evening and further observation suggested that some of the things that I had said in my earlier post were not correct. Notably, my spare tv had also lost signal. The signs are pointing towards a duff cable somewhere between the antenna and the...

Ok, learning fast. With the aerial connected to the coax i should measure a DC short? Makes sense. aerial is just a wire loop. I did not try that. I tested the cables disconnected. Will try that next time i get the issue.

Yes. There is a live hdmi connection between the two. Could that do it, even when the aerial is routed directly to the tv?

Let me first say that I am happy to concede that my problem may not be anything to do with my hummy. Still, it all started when i installed it. Since getting my box a week or two ago I have lost signal on all channels several times. Absolute zero, as if the antenna came out. My wife has...
